Why have a mole removed?
Aesthetic enhancement isn’t the sole reason to have a mole removed. For some, moles can be irritating and cumbersome. Men, in particular, may regularly knick their facial moles when shaving. Beyond being bothersome, excessive exposure to ultraviolet light can cause moles to develop cancerous cells, resulting in skin cancer.
After removal, we can have the atypical moles biopsied to ensure they are benign. By having our plastic surgeons remove facial moles, patients can gain healthy skin and a boost to self confidence.
