- Photos OK to edit
Honestly those who want such marks upon their face removed/reduced will likely request it up front or in the review process when selecting prints. Also don't forget that these visual differences between people are not "defects" or "imperfections" and I think, as a photographer, its the wrong mind-set to approach them as such. They are simply a feature of the person - just like their eye colour. You'd never think to remove someone eyecolour or change it if it were "un-pleasing" to yourself and the same should go for permanent features of the person.
You can use some editing methods to help draw the focus and attention of the viewer to key parts in the scene and to move attention and focus from others, but not outright remove features of a person unless requested.
Note if they request removal you can then do a bit of sales work - you can either charge extra for the service or throw it in as a free extra (and maybe swing an extra print sale or two because the client is then getting a deal).
The only groups who work with "perfect plastic people" are beauty companies and glossy magazines who aim to present the artificial person.
