Benign Lesion & Mole Removal

Surgical removal of benign moles and growths for medical or cosmetic reasons — with pathology when indicated.

Medical vs. cosmetic removal

Medical removal is covered when a lesion is suspicious or symptomatic. Cosmetic removal of benign moles is typically self-pay.

We orient incisions along natural skin lines to minimize visible scarring. Most heal to a fine line within months.

Should I remove a mole that isn't cancerous?

Removal is optional for benign moles unless they change, bleed, catch on clothing, or bother you cosmetically.
