Most people have at least one mole or nevus. The majority of moles are benign and do not pose a health risk, but they can be an aesthetic concern. A large mole on the face or neck can be distracting, and some people are self-conscious of their noticeable moles. At Eden Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Ali Charafeddine and our team offer cosmetic mole removal at our clinic in Miami.
Moles can easily be removed by any doctor. Dermatologists and primary care physicians can remove a mole, especially if there is concern that it is precancerous. However, these mole removal procedures are for medical concerns and may leave a scar in place of the nevus. If you have a mole you want removed for cosmetic purposes, you want to ensure that the treatment is performed carefully to avoid creating a scar. Dr. Ali Charafeddine is a board certified plastic surgeon who has the skill and expertise to perform cosmetic mole removal and avoid leaving a visible scar.
Cosmetic Nevus Removal
Cosmetic mole treatment is an outpatient procedure that can be performed at our clinic in Miami. Most moles can be removed using a local anesthetic. The area around the mole is numbed with an injection, but the patient does not need sedation. Dr. Charafeddine can excise most moles using techniques that will reduce the appearance of a scar. The procedure usually takes less than an hour, and there is no downtime or recovery needed after the treatment.
If you are self-conscious due to a noticeable mole, cosmetic nevus treatment may be right for you. To learn more about mole removal treatments, contact us at Eden Plastic Surgery Institute in Miami. We can schedule a mole treatment consultation with Dr. Charafeddine to discuss the best removal procedure for your unwanted nevi.
