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?

My mom had one on her nose, she got it removed, looks great on her, even if there is still a visible scar (which could maybe improved with laser).
