Skin Lesion Removal
Surgical skin lesion removal is a procedure used to excise various types of skin growths, including moles, warts, benign and pre-cancerous lesions, cysts, lipomas, and abscesses. This treatment is typically performed under local anaesthesia to eliminate unwanted or potentially harmful skin abnormalities. Depending on the nature and location of the lesion, different techniques such as excision, cryotherapy, or plasma removal may be employed. Surgical removal not only addresses aesthetic concerns but also helps prevent potential health risks associated with certain skin lesions, providing both cosmetic and medical benefits to patients.

Is surgical skin lesion removal painful?
The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during the removal. You might experience some discomfort or mild pain afterward, which can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does it take to recover from surgical skin lesion removal?
Recovery time varies depending on the size and location of the lesion, as well as the specific removal technique used. Generally, most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, although complete healing may take a few weeks.
Will there be a scar after the removal?
There is a possibility of scarring, but the extent depends on factors such as the size and location of the lesion, your skin type, and how well you follow post-procedure care instructions. Surgeons take care to minimize scarring, and proper wound care can help ensure the best possible cosmetic outcome.
