    Old Fashioned.....just like cutting out a mole is more accurate then lasering it off. lasers tend to miss things and leave spots. plus you'll get better pain medicine if you get the surgery=) you win twice hahaha

    Source(s): I had mine cut out and my youngest sister had hers lasered....she said she could smell it burning her tounsils out and the laser sounds scary. you get put asleep during surgery so you wont feel anything. i got perscribed 30 loracet 10mg's and 30 IBU Profen 800mg. she only got IBU Profen and has dreams about the burning smell still
