Can I have Moles and Blemishes Removed With Facial Plastic Surgery?
Since birth, many struggle with the appearance of moles and other blemishes. Moles, boils, warts and other skin protrusions are common insecurities to have. If you are dealing with unwanted skin blemishes or moles, keep reading to find out how these can be removed with facial plastic surgery and the added benefits you can achieve.
The best facial plastic surgeons know how to properly remove moles and blemishes while minimizing scarring and pain.
There are many reasons why someone might get a mole removed. Such as:
Aesthetic preferences
Cancer concerns
Anxieties
Insecurity
While moles can appear anywhere on the body, facial plastic surgeons generally treat, test and remove moles from the face, neck or head only.
Mole Removal Process
If you want to remove a mole or other blemish for any reason, the procedure is minimally invasive and generally takes less than half an hour.
If you have a trusted rhinoplasty specialist, they are likely able to remove moles as well. Speak with your provider to decide if one of the 3 mole removal techniques is right for you.
Depending on your facial plastic surgeon and type of mole, there are three common types of mole removal techniques:
shaving excision. This is the most common mole removal procedure used by facial plastic surgeons. This technique requires a razor to slowly scrape and slice the mole off your skin.
laser removal. Like shaving, laser removal uses laser technology to slice the mole off the top layer of your skin.
or mini fusiform excision. This mole removal technique is a little more invasive and requires a cut to be made around the blemish. From here your surgeon will remove the mole.
Local anesthesia is provided for each type of mole removal procedure to ensure your comfort. While scarring is likely with all three procedures, the scars will heal with proper aftercare and follow-up visits.
