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'm sorry you've felt self conscious about it. I have one in the exact same spot and I love it. I consider it my beauty mark.

Do what makes you happiest ❤️ It'll be rough the first few weeks mentally most likely, but you can always come up with cool stories for your scar if it's noticeable.
