To remove or not remove....

[Harlot]

Dude, I say remove it it. It bothers you anyways and a scar looks better than a mole right? Of course, Im assuming its kinda big, if not and its small then leave it since most likley the scar will be bigger.

If you are really that bothered by it and don't mind a small scar instead of the mole, I'd say have it removed. I have a mole on the side of my cheek but I really like it, I would actually be sad if it ever had to be removed. But that's all personal of course. Let us know what you decide

I am still thinking, but I am leaning towards removing it. I am going to try to see a specialist, someone who is experienced in removing this kind of mole on someones face. I am going to ask a lot of questions. How big will the scar be? Will it be discolored? etc.

I did have a small broken blood vessel removed from my nose before, They burned it off and it didn't come back. But it was a different kind of mole. Thanks for all the advice gals!!!

PS..You can probably see it in my FOTD's I don't use concealer on it or anything.

From what I can see, you look beautiful with or without a mole Amanda. I have a small one on my face that has been there for years. I leave it because it's not causing any health risks and it's really not that noticeable. It's up to you, but unless it's really big I'd say leave it. It gives your face character. Think of Cindy Crawford. lol...

I'd leave it. Your face is so beautiful that I never realized you had a mole.

I gotta be honest, that's allmost invisible

But I guess it's purely a psychological question, so it's up to you cuz u'r the one living with whatever u choose for

btw: nobody is perfect anyway

REMOVE IT!

I had a rather large and deeply rooted mole on my chin that I felt so self-conscious about for years. I considered removing it but various dermatologists said it would leave a scar and it was better to just leave it because the mole was flat but deep. Well my regular doctor advised me to get it removed, by a plastic surgeon, and I listened. He did a fabulous job and I am so happy I had the mole removed. The scar is barely noticeable and it's healed so well. it's been 2 years later and you don't even notice the scar. Plus I feel better about it, even though it was just a mole.

Basically - if it bothers you enough, get it removed. Just make sure you go to a good doctor, especially since it's on your face.

my fd got a huge mole on her chin and she got it removed without getting a tiny scar at all.. i dunno why doctors there cant make it without a scar? i got many fds got that done and none of them got a scar

 

[yourleoqueen]

Sooooo, didja get the mole removed?

 

[kaylin_marie]

My opinion is if it really really bothers you and you feel bad about it and you know you won't ever want it back, then get it removed. If you hate it that bad i'd say you'd be happier with a small scar. However, be sure thats what you want to do before you do it. You might even grow to like it one day. Someone mentioned Cindy Crawford and I remembered seeing her on the Tyra Banks show and she said everybody she knew tried to get her to remove her mole but she didn't, and now she loves it. Honestly I usually think moles are cute unless it's some Austin Powers kinda thing!

I just thought (still think) that you're beautiful!

If it really bugs you, I'd definitely have it removed. I had a HUGE one on the side of my neck near my hairline, fyi, I have shortish hair so you could see it. I'd had it for years and always hated it. I just had it removed this past winter and couldn't be happier.

I didn't even notice you had a mole, Amanda! I say that if you feel really self-conscious with it, then have it removed by a dermatologist you trust.

I have a raised scar on the side of my nose that I hate, but I don't want to have it lasered down. The pain, the cost, etc. is not worth it to me and most people don't really notice it.
