Can a Raised Mole Be Removed from the Eyebrow Without Losing Hair?

Good question. Yes, a mole can be removed from the eyebrow without causing a gap of bald skin.

Actually there are two different excision methods: shave or excision with suture closure. If the mole is "shaved" off, the key is to not go so deep that the eyebrow hair roots are removed.

With excision with suture closure, removing the roots of the eyebrow hairs is okay because the line of hairs is being pulled back together so there won't be a gap.

Mole removal in the eyebrow and scalp is done commonly so an experienced physician will have no problem giving you a nice eyebrow without the mole.

Moles growing within the eyebrow are quickly and easily removed in my office by one of two methods: a shave excision or an excision with suture closure. With a "shave excision" method. The mole is actually "shaved off" at a level just below the surface of the skin. This method is quite effective and leaves a minimal scar. No hair is removed or destroyed. When I excise a mole, I remove a simple ellipse of skin. I then use a "layer closure" using both dissolving and non-dissolving sutures to give the best cosmetic result. The area then typically heals with a small, linear scar that is hardly visible. Minimal hairs are removed.
