Moles are areas of pigmented skin and can be present from birth or can appear later in life. Patients may choose to pursue mole removal for a number of reasons including improving appearance, to reduce or eliminate discomfort from a mole rubbing against clothing or pain from repeatedly shaving the mole in daily routine. In addition there are more serious reasons why a patient would need to pursue moel removal including if melanoma or skin cancer is suspected. Raised mole removal involves treatment with shave excision where the mole is cut down to the level of the surrounding skin using a scalpel or electro-surgery. If a mole is suspected of being cancerous your surgeon may recommend a flat mole removal procedure where the mole is cut out entirely.

A recent medical study reported that there are more than 100,000 deaths each year caused by medical mistakes. If you are considering having a procedure you need to consider the risks associated with mole removal surgeries and all cosmetic surgery procedures. There is a risk that you will not be satisfied with your mole removal procedure, even if you have the best cosmetic surgeon and even if the surgery goes smoothly.
