Is lip mole removal possible for me?

Question

I would like to look into removing a mole on my upper lip however, it sits on my lip. I talked to a dermatologist before about removing it awhile back. She didn’t seem to think it would be possible without taking part of my lip off causing a bigger problem. I was curious if that was just her opinion or if it would be possible.

Thank you for your question and photograph. Surgically removing a mole will always result in a scar, and it's difficult to evaluate your skin through this type of forum, but from what I can see, it looks like your mole involves your lip border. A shave biopsy can be done but would result in a round indentation as a scar. Completely removing the mole with an excision can involve more surrounding tissue to be removed and go into your lip line. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss removal options and scar outcomes. Take care and good luck.
