Growth, Wart and Mole Removal

Insurance covers some treatments, so the answer depends on why the mole is being removed as well as on its size and location. Bring your insurance details to the consultation and you will get a clear figure before anything is scheduled.

Some treatments are. Removal for a medical reason is treated differently from removal for appearance, and your consultation is where that distinction gets made and documented.

Because the scar is the result. Our New York City, Manhattan and Staten Island physicians have years of experience removing unwanted growths using the incisions and repairs of a skilled plastic surgeon, which is the difference between a mole being gone and a mole being replaced by a mark you notice instead.

In most cases the procedure is straightforward and done in the office. Your physician will confirm the timing and the anesthesia once the mole has been examined.

Removing a mole means breaking the skin, so there is a fine line where it was. Placement and closure technique are what determine how visible it stays, which is the whole argument for having it done by someone who does this work all day.

A mole that has changed in shape, color or size, or that looks different from your others, should be examined rather than watched at home. Bring it in and it will be assessed properly.
