I can't help you with your mom because I never had a problem with my parents when it came to that stuff. Before you get your heart set on it you should look into it more if you haven't already. Does it leave a white scar? I'm sure you won't want to keep it forever. You are very pretty and I'd hate to see you scar your face . Sorry, I'm starting to get a little bit older and my mind wanders to the same questions my mom asks me about stuff!
