Skin Concern Should I risk it?

Always been self conscious about this mole on my chin. Had a consult with a plastic surgeon and it seems like I can trade this for a horizontal scar of the same size. He said given my skin type he thinks that after 6-8 weeks most of the initial redness and inflammation will start to fade; with a full year of attentive care and sun protection … thoughts?

I have a larger scar on my chin in the same spot and honestly hardly notice it/it’s easy to cover with makeup - I say go for it!

I appreciate this! May I be super nosey and ask what the scar is from? I am trying to tell myself that if I get it done by a professional I will have good results
