Why Wont Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist Remove the Mole on the Tip of my Nose? (photo)

There are generally two options for removal: tangential excision and excision with closure. Either method can cause scarring. Anything that you do to the skin to remove it can potentially leave scarring. I think that your best option is to talk to an experience dermatologic surgeon or plastic surgeon about your options for removing it. Since the doctors don't feel that the lesion is malignant, it is being removed for cosmetic purposes. Apparently, they don't want to create a problem that is more noticeable than your current mole, and that is something that you should remember. There is always a chance that you will be less satisfied with the final cosmetic result than the current mole on your nose. Unfortunately, that is one of the risks associated with removal on the mole. Talk to other doctors; let them examine the lesion and talk to you, and ask questions. Good luck.

It is possible and easy to remove this mole. You may have a tiny mark there for a bit, but if you are happier with a skin colored mark, that would be just fine. I would suggest having it removed via a shave biopsy. Then I'd have you do a few Cutera Genesis to the site over the coming months to help alleviate redness and color differentiation. I'd suggest you try to find a local, more specialized dermatologist or dermatologic surgeon. Some dermatologists simply don't like to do as many removals, or are uncomfortable with the idea. Personally,  I am a cosmetic dermatologist with nearly 30 years of surgical removals, so this would be easy for me to do, but some dermatologists simply aren't as comfortable with cosmetic removals. Ask when you call around!
