What Anesthesia is Used for Face Mole Removal? Does it Hurt to have Moles Removed from my face?
Almost all facial or eyelid moles, cysts, skin tags, xanthelasma, milia and growths are removed under local anesthesia in Dr. Chandler’s office surgical suite. Besides a few pin pricks for the numbing medicine, mole removal from the face or around the eyes should be virtually painless. Oral sedation can be used if patients are very anxious prior to their procedures. Dr. Chandler prides himself on being especially gentle and understands that any surgical procedure on the face can be a daunting experience. Typically there is little to no pain after mole removal though there can be some itching as the area heals. Dr. Chandler does not “freeze” or “laser” off moles or skin tags.

Are there Scars After Mole Removal?
Dr. Chandler always strives to minimize any scarring after mole removal. Each mole and every person’s face/skin is different. Scarring can vary greatly depending on the location and size of the mole being treated. Most moles are raised above the skin and once the mole is removed the skin is typically smooth/flat in that area which allows any scar or pigment change after removal to blend much better with the surrounding skin. Dr. Chandler discusses and reviews expectations of scarring and post-operative appearance with each patient during your consultation.
What is a Xanthelasma? Can Xanthelasmas be Removed?
Xanthelasma (“zan-the-las-mas”) are yellow/white cholesterol deposits in the skin that are located in the inner corner of one or more eyelids. Xanthelasmas do not harm the skin or the eyes and they cause no pain. Doctors do not understand precisely why these deposits form in this exact location on the face. Whatever the scientific reason for these deposits, they can be unpleasant looking and understandably many people want them gone. Chemical peels and laser treatments offer very limited improvement, can be dangerous near the eyes, and typically give less than ideal results. Surgical removal is the definitive treatment for Xanthelasmas. Delicate, precise technique is required, and Dr. Chandler has specialized in this kind of plastic surgery his entire career. Dr. Chandler always strives to leave the most minimal of scarring which can require very great precision in Xanthelasma removal cases. Xanthelasmas can recur unfortunately, but after surgical removal this typically takes years. Xanthelasma removal is cosmetic in nature and not deemed a medically necessary procedure by health insurance companies since they are removed solely to improve appearance. Schedule a Xanthelasma removal consultation with Dr. Chandler today for a complete discussion of this challenging cosmetic condition.
Cost of mole removal? Does insurance pay for mole removal?
Face moles, growths, and skin tags can vary greatly in size, location, and difficulty in removal. Most can be removed and treated in the office with local anesthesia. Health insurance does not pay for the cosmetic removal of moles or growths on the face.
The cost starts at $750-$3500 and these fees can vary depending on the number of growths and the time and expertise required to remove them. Growths on exposed areas of the face can be challenging to remove, but Dr. Chandler always strives to removes facial moles and growths with the minimal scarring and he has years of experience.
