Hello, after consulting several plastic surgeons for mole removal on the eyebrow (size about 4 mm), I found that everyone has their own way of operation: some would remove it horizontally and some vertically. Which method would be the best? Horizontally I would have my eyebrow raised. Vertically, the scar is more difficult to hide. The mole is located above the left eyebrow close to the hairs, centrally located, but slightly shifted to the right. Thank you.
