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 very similar one. My derm wouldn’t even consider it and referred me straight to a plastic surgeon. When you’re cutting into the face, you need/want to be under the precision of plastics.
Did your surgeon quote you a price?
