Mole On Upper Lip- Is Shaving The Best Option For Removal To Keep Lip Shape?

August 19, 2011
Asked By:thisoneguyhere in San Francisco, CA

I am considering removing two moles on my upper lip because they can be irritating when I shave. I have been told by a friend that shaving would be the best course of action because they are raised and excision could distort my lip. I wanted to know if shaving would be the best course of action and what are my options for removing the mole, but keeping the shape of my lip? I know their will be scaring and possible pigment left over, but are their any other concerns I should be aware of?
