Removal of Moles, Cysts, Lipomas & Skin Lesions

Accurate Diagnosis, Safe Excision & Minimal Scarring

Skin lesions such as moles (nevi), lipomas, cysts, skin tags, as well as precancerous or cancerous lesions, often require medical evaluation and removal for reasons including:

• Diagnosis (histological confirmation)
• Aesthetic improvement
• Comfort and relief from irritation
• Prevention or treatment of malignancy

Removal is performed with precision, safety, and minimal scarring, either in the clinic or in a surgical setting, depending on the case.

Which skin lesions can be removed?

✅ Moles (nevi)

• Pigmented or non-pigmented
• Flat or raised
• Located in visible areas (face, neck, back)

✅ Cysts (sebaceous, epidermoid, etc.)

• Inflamed or non-inflamed
• Commonly found on the scalp, trunk, or back

✅ Lipomas

• Soft fatty tumors beneath the skin
• Single or multiple

✅ Skin cancers

• Basal cell carcinoma (BCC)
• Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
• Suspicious lesions with changes in color, shape, size, or bleeding
• Surgical removal with histological examination

✅ Skin Tags & Other Benign Lesions

• Acrochordons, papillomas, and other benign growths
• Common in the neck, armpits, and groin
• Removed for aesthetic or preventive reasons

How is the removal performed?

Depending on the type, size, and location of the lesion:

• Local anesthesia in the clinic (most cases)
• Surgical excision, with or without sutures
• Histological examination when medically indicated
• Cosmetic suturing techniques, especially for facial areas, to minimize scarring

The procedure is quick, painless, and requires minimal recovery time.

Recovery & aftercare

• Immediate return to daily activities
• Suture removal (if needed): 5–10 days
• Scar: small, thin, and gradually fades over time
• Detailed instructions for wound care, sun protection, and follow-up

When should you see a doctor urgently?

• Change in size, shape, or color of a mole
• Bleeding, inflammation, or ulceration
• Rapid growth of a lesion
• Pain or persistent discomfort
• A skin lesion that does not heal

Early evaluation and removal can prevent serious conditions, especially in sun-exposed or high-friction areas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will there be a scar?

Usually minimal. In aesthetic areas (face, décolletage), cosmetic closure techniques are used to achieve the best possible scar outcome.

Is the procedure painful?

No. Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is painless.

Are all lesions sent for biopsy?

Not all. Lesions are sent for histological examination when there is medical indication or suspicion.

When should a mole be removed?

When it shows changes, causes symptoms, or raises clinical suspicion during examination.

Would you like an evaluation?

If you have a skin lesion that concerns you medically or aesthetically, a simple examination can clarify everything. Book a consultation for clinical assessment and a personalized plan for removal or monitoring.
