Asked By:hello0524 in Pompano Beach, FL

I'm getting my mole removed in two days and I have no idea what procedure my docotor will use an im curious. I am also concerned with the results. I'm 16 years old and I was born with it. This mole is not cancerous. Will the scar be very noticeable or not? And if so, what type of scar/length will it be?
