Mole Removal Top Doctor Philadelphia.  A 23 year-old woman presented to Dr. Chandler with a large very darkly colored mole (nevus) of her upper lip in an area of the mouth just under the nose called the philtrum. She has darker complected pigmented skin and this can present challenges compared with more caucasian skin. Challenges of removing skin growths and moles in darker skin tones include the risk of a region that is more lightly colored than the surrounding area — a so-called hypopigmented area. Scarring is the number one risk of mole removal on the face — and some mild scarring can be expected even with the very best surgeons. This young woman underwent an in-office mole removal procedure with Dr. Chandler using his artistic excision with sculpting. She is shown only 6 weeks! after her mole removal surgery. She has an incredible before and after plastic surgery result. There is some mild redness to the area with a truly remarkable improvement overall. It is expected that since it takes up to 1 year for the full healing after mole removal that she will have an even nicer result 6 months following these photographs. Face mole excision is a true art form and this before and after mole removal shows a superb outcome. Few surgeons anywhere in the country are true experts in treating facial moles like Dr. Chandler in Philadelphia, PA.
