A member asked:

Could i get a mole surgically made smaller but not fully removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get a consult: Some moles which are flat can be covered with make up, but seek out a consult from a facial plastic surgeon about more permanent removal. Some moles can be shaved off with good cosmetic results while some require full excision. I have found many patients are highly appreciative about their mole removals.
