Surgical removal of moles from the face or body by a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon is the safest, most effective method of mole removal. Mole removal is performed by numbing the area with local anesthetic and excising the mole, closing the area with tiny sutures. The results are fast healing and minimal scarring.

Why us
Each of our plastic surgeons is experienced, board-certified and have focused their professional careers on performing custom aesthetic treatments for face, breasts, and body, including surgical mole removal. They perform every treatment with precision and accuracy and treat every patient with compassionate care.
The consultation
At our state-of-the-art facilities, we will evaluate the mole or moles you want removed and speak with you about the procedure, what to expect, and answer all of your questions and concerns. The mole removal procedure we perform will be carefully performed to avoid creating visible scars – which is particularly important with facial moles.
The procedure
Local anesthetic is administered to numb the area where the mole is to be removed. After the area is numbed, our surgeon will excise the mole with a customized small scalpel, leaving a tiny incision. He will then suture the incision closed so it heals cleanly.
The results
The mole is thoroughly removed. The tiny sutures will be removed within one week. Our surgeon will provide you with aftercare guidelines, which include avoiding sun exposure and creams or other skin products. Recovery and healing take place rapidly, and you can return to work the next day.
The cost
The typical range, which of course can vary depending on the number or size of the moles, is between $250 – $1000 or more depending on the size and location. If the mole removal is medically necessary, your health insurance may cover all or part of the cost.
