A Doctor that has some form of plastic surgery knowledge and is qualified would be the most appropriate for facial mole removal. Do your homework on this part as you only get one chance for a good job.

Firstly, the doctor anesthetizes the area and then it is a simple process of either leveling it with a scalpel then placing a sterile patch on the incision, or if it is a deeper and/or larger mole, the scalpel goes down deeper into the flesh to remove more of the base of the mole. It is then sutured very delicately with fine stitches that barely leaves any scarring. After about 8-10 days, the stitches are removed by the doctor, and that's it.

There are also Freezing and Laser treatments too, but may require longer or repetitive treatments.

If the stitches are left in too long, some permanent whitening of the sutured area may result, so follow your doctors directions to the letter.
