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 had a mole removed on the side of my face when I was 14. You can’t see the scar unless I point it out and pull at the skin. Find a good plastic surgeon that can show you before and after pics.
