I read the article on cosmetic surgery;
I have 2 minor moles, one is positioned to disturb me sometimes and one not but is unpleasant to my wife.
Can I have both or either removed?
What is the current accepted opinion given the malokes ha’poskim that exists and the close to absolute safeness that such surgery requires.
Answer:
It is permitted to have both moles removed.
Sources: See our article on the topic here. The common custom is to be lenient, in accordance with the opinions that permit cosmetic surgery. In this case there is also an element of shalom bayis involved, which is further grounds for permitting the surgery.
