Regardless of whether there have been any changes to your mole, whether it causes a feel of irritation when it comes into contact with clothing, or you just wish to have your mole removed for cosmetic reasons alone, here at WeCare Clinics, we will remove moles at our clinics which are situated in KL, Ukay Boulevard, Desa Melawati, and Setiawangsa.
While most moles are completely harmless, it is important to get them assessed before undergoing any procedures to ensure their removal is safe.
Two main categories for which moles can be removed include health-related concerns or cosmetic preferences. The doctors at our office determine the type of case you have during consultation.
Criteria showing why a mole needs to be evaluated according to the ABCDE criteria:
Other reasons why a patient might want a mole removal procedure:
A mole that meets the above criteria will usually be recommended for removal partly because it will enable further testing of the sample.
| Method | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Surgical excision | The mole is excised, sometimes along with a small area of surrounding tissue, and this area may be sutured shut | Larger moles or those which show any symptoms that might require a sample of tissue for testing |
| Shave removal | The mole is carefully shaved flush with the skin surface using a surgical blade | Smaller, raised moles where the growth is more superficial |
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Consultation & Assessment | Doctor performs examination of mole and asks you about your reason for mole removal |
| Local Anaesthesia | Area is made numb prior to procedure so that the pain can be avoided |
| Removal | Mole is removed by either shaving or excision technique as required |
| Closure (as necessary) | In case of excision, the area can be closed up with stitches |
| Dressing & Aftercare Instructions | Doctor applies dressing to the area and gives you aftercare instructions |

Some amount of scarring occurs regardless of the removal surgery; however, this fades over time and depends on various aspects including mole size and location.
Even if there are no signs of a change in the mole, if a mole is troublesome or causes confidence issues by itself, it’s a good enough reason to consider removal.
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia; therefore, you will not experience pain during the process, although some pressure may occur.
For most patients who undergo the surgical removal of their moles, there is no likelihood that they will ever grow back. In some cases, however, the moles may regrow, although this is dependent on the procedure used to remove the mole.
Absolutely. Removal of moles for cosmetic purposes is one of the main reasons for doing this procedure, aside from moles that are being removed because of a medical problem.
The answer will vary depending on the kind of mole, and whether your doctor suspects something abnormal with the mole.
