Would removing the birthmark on my stomach result in a big scar? (Photo)

Asked By:sugar90 in Santa Barbara, CA

I have a 3cm birthmark on my stomach which bothers me a lot. I have been to see someone who stated that removal of this would result in a large scar across my abdomen. Similar to that of a tummy tuck, what are my other options and would scar revision therapy after heal this?
