mole removal
by hyperT, Sep 04, 2007 03:51PM
i have a mole on my nose. I went to a laser clinic and the doctor advised that the mole cannot be removed by means of a laser as it is deep into the dermis. He suggested I go see a plastic surgeon. The mole is about 3-4 mm in diameter. Would plastic surgery be able to excise the mole without leaving a scar. Is this procedure considered complex and costly? Thank you.

Removal of a small mole of the nose typically heals very well with minimal scarring when performed with meticulous repair by a plastic surgeon. Humans always heal by scar formation, but often the residual scars heal so well that they are often virtually impossible to see. the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and should not be exorbitant.
