DERMATOLOGICAL SKIN SURGERY

Get rid of unsightly lumps and bumps….

WHICH CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED?

A complimentary consultation will ascertain whether the skin blemishes are suitable for dermatological surgery. Appropriate skin blemishes include:

Skin Tags
Moles/Benign Skin Naevi
Crusting Skin lesions
Simple or Sebaceous Cysts
Wart-like Blemishes

Sometimes it is very obvious that a blemish is safe (benign). However, if there is any doubt the blemishes removed are sent to a laboratory for analysis to ensure they are safe.

WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE INVOLVE?

A small injection of local anaesthetic is used to numb the area.

Curettage and Cautery - involves the removal of very superficial tissue using a special surgical instrument therefore causing minimal scarring. If necessary the area is then cauterised.
Scalpel/Minor surgery - involves excising the blemish using a scalpel. A couple of stitches are then required to achieve the best cosmetic result.

AFTER CARE

The wound will be dressed and must be kept dry for a few days. Stitches will be removed after 7 or 14 days.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

As with all surgical procedures there is a small risk of infection and scarring, which will be discussed prior to your treatment.
