Mole removal is a cosmetic surgery procedure that provides a solution to people wanting to improve their appearance and reduce associated health risks.
Moles most frequently develop in young adults near the age of 40. Depending on their location, moles may go unnoticed — or they may become a nuisance by rubbing against clothing and getting in the way of shaving.
Moles can also lead to dangerous health problems. Many skin cancers, including melanoma, begin in the shape of a mole.
Not all atypical moles turn out to be cancerous, but they are more likely than typical moles to develop into cancer.
If you have a mole that seems atypical in any way -- one that changes in size and appearance, bleeds, is asymmetrical, is not uniform in color, has ragged edges, or in any other way seems unusual -- it is very important to have it examined. If a cancerous mole is diagnosed early, it can often be completely removed.
You may also want to have normal moles removed, especially those that rub against clothing or get in the way of shaving. Prominent moles may also be removed to improve appearance.
