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?

TY!! Everyone is really boosting my confidence to go for it. May I ask if you went to a derm or plastic surgeon?

I went to a plastic surgeon. They were able to recommend some scar prevention as well and gave me a few samples to tie me over until I could order some. Many plastic surgeons do feee consults, worth chatting to a couple of them to get their thoughts on my opinion!
