Facial mole removal

Postby Bigdaddy » Thu Sep 23, 2010 4:39 pm

Dr. Lam
I have two moles that I was thinking of having removed. One of them is slightly raised and is on my left facial cheek. It is slighty raised and is a liitle smaller than a pencil eraser. It is brown in color and goes beneath the skin a little but it is a bump as I said.
It is about 1 inch away from the center of my ear on my cheek. It is longer vertically than it is horizontally so i think the cut would have to be up and down instead of side to side. There is some loose skin also. The other one is directly to the right of it closer to my eye. It is barely raised if at all and is a little smaller than the other one. I was wondering if you could help me bc it really affects me in a negative way.

if you live in dallas or the surrounding metroplex then yes. if you have to fly in then no. the reason as you see posted is that i need to provide appropriate postoperative care to make sure that it heals well and that may mean multiple visits after the procedure.

if you live in houston then i cannot help you. as far as the location, it sounds fine but again someone has to see you in person to make that decision.
