Facial beauty mark/mole removal...
I went to my derm and wanted a mole removed from my nose (small but raised) and he wouldn't touch it...said to leave it alone b/c mole removal leaves scars...but I want it gone 
Anyone here ever had a mole removed from their face? Any scarring? Where did you go? Any feedback is appreciated!!!
TIA!

Re: Facial beauty mark/mole removal...
I never did it but try a plastic surgeon
They are better at removing things on the face with less scaring.
Only thing is- it probably wont' be covered by insurance in that case.

I would also recommend a plastic surgeon. My DH had a mole removed from his chest by a dermatologist and the scar is AWFUL.

My sister had a mole removed from her face by a dermatologist, and if she has a scar it is very slight because I can not see it.

Re: Facial beauty mark/mole removal...
I had one scraped off on the side of my face and it was perfect. As long as they don't dig you are fine. BUT then it may come back...

Re: Facial beauty mark/mole removal...
I had one removed from my face which was on my upper lip. I went with a plastic surgeon and I do have a scar which is hardly noticeable. I didn't care about a scar, I just hated the mark and was very self-concious about it.
When I had mine taken out/off, it was three layers deep and I needed 9 stitches. The mark was no bigger than a pencil eraser! 
Totally worth it for me.
I went to a facial/hand surgeon in Smithtown and it was an in-office procedure.

Re: Facial beauty mark/mole removal...
I had a mole on my nose. It bothered me my whole life. I went to the dermatologist and said it was bleeding. They recommended a dermatologist plastic surgeon. The scar is barely there. You have to be really really close to see it. I would never go to a regular plastic surgeon.

Re: Facial beauty mark/mole removal...
Plastic surgeon sounds expensive...but I guess its better than taking the chance of getting a scar. I'm going back to my dermatologist tonight, maybe he can recomend someone. Thanks to all!!

It should be covered by insurance if there is a medical need to have the mole removed.

Interesting, I never heard of a dermatologist plastic surgeon. When my father had skin cancer, his dermatologist referred him to a "regular" plastic surgeon because it was on his face. All of the skin cancer was removed no problem and he had no complications. I would get a recommendation from your dermatologist, though.

when my mom had skin cancer, the dermatological surgeon did the procedure in the dermatologists office.
i went to a regular plastic surgeon for another part of my body and the scar is huge.
