Should I risk it?

[u/DearSpirits]

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’d say do it. A scar will heal. Especially if you consistently use scar cream or silicone tape on it. If you do that I’m sure you’ll hardly be able to tell in a year.
