Actually I want to get a couple of moles removed. The one in question is in my eyebrow, it shows through my eyebrow.. If I get it removed, will my eyebrow grow back in its place? Will the ones on my face be scarred, if I get it removed?

I have had 3 moles removed from my face and none of them left a scar. 1 of the moles was cut off with a scalpel and 2 of them the dermatologist used a little tool with a round hollow blade and turned it around the mole and it brings out a cyclinder of skin including the mole. Then she used two very small stitches in each. It heals up very quickly and no scars at all. The moles were sent to biopsy. The procedure is very simple and doesn't hurt at all. Go have them removed. You will be so glad you did.

I work at a dermatology office and if my friend or a patient asked me that, there are several things to keep in mind. First things first - there will always be a scar where you remove the mole - how badly depends on you and how your body normally heals. With some people, you don't notice anything. Also, if it's on your face, definitely consider how much it annoys you. If it's a mole you were born with, the color may return so instead you should have it cut out, which includes stitches. When dealing with the face, it's better to go to a plastic surgeon -you'll get better cosmetic results. If it's in your eyebrow, it sounds like you're more concerned about the bump. Shaving the mole off is probably your best bet. Your dermatologist would be the best person to advise you and let you know about hair regrowth in the area.

Good job on taking care of your moles! I've had tons removed. They will scar a bit, but IMO the scar isn't as bad looking then the mole! The one in your eyebrow will leave a scar and hair won't grow there, but it's nothing an eyebrow pencil cannot handle!
Good Luck!

if you get it removed, your eyebrow will not grow back in its place. The ones on your face will be scarred, but its barely noticeable.
My mom got a few removed.

i would be very careful..my dermatologist removed one from my right cheek 3 months ago and he said i would not have a scar...well i have a nice round red scar in place of the mole now...i would go to a plastic surgeon if you are really concerned about having a scar...

If you get a laser treatment, you may lose that portion of your eyebrow temporarily. But only a doctor would know for sure.
My policy is if a mole isn't cancerous just leave it alone! You will save a lot of money in the long run.

yes it will scar. Not bad enough to notice.
The scar will fade with time. I had a 3"in. long laceration that scarred because I didn't get stiches. 2 years later they removed the scar tissue and stiched it up. No one even notices a scar now.

You need to ask the doctor who will remove the moles. Only the doc knows your specific situation and what the final results will be. Best of luck with it.

the way they do this now, there are no scars left. if there is a scar, you wont even be able to see it. i had a mole removed from my cheek when i was about 14.
