What is the best place for mole removal on my face? (Photo)

jaszapp02Nov 24, 2023
Hello, so I had this mole on the border of my lip my whole life. I've always wanted to remove it, and it's one of my biggest insecurities. I was born with it and it's grown larger in size over the years. I live in Arizona and I've been doing some research, but I want the best results I can get. I just want the best results and the least scarring as possible. If someone can lead me in the right direction that would be great.
