Is It True That Removing my Mole on my Breast Will Scar Like a Cigarette Burn? (photo)

As a plastic surgeon I'm more inclined to excise this which would leave a longer but thin scar on your breast.  In my opinion, this is often better than the "cigarette burn" hypopigmented scars that result from shaving it off.  That said, you look like you have very lightly pigmented skin so either option would probably be acceptable and cosmetically better than what you have now.  Have it evaluated by a plastic surgeon, dermatologic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist that is comfortable doing minor surgery procedures.

As a Dermatologic surgeon, I remove moles exactly like yours daily.  The raised part is easily removed by shaving it even with the skin, but the darkness I can see around the edges which is not raised would likely leave you residual pigmentation.  This would most likely still look better than the mole, but you also have another option.  That is excision of the mole.  You would be trading the mole for a line scar about 2X the size of the mole, but because of where it is located on your breast, the resulting line scar should be very thin and hardly noticable.  It would have to go through the normal healing period, but may be your best bet.  If unsure, you could shave it off and always have the option of excision if the scar from the shave displeases you, I think either way, in the right hands, your scar would look better than the mole currently does.
