Skin Surgeries

Mole Removal
Moles that are suspicious, irritating, or cosmetically undesirable can be removed using surgical excision or shaving techniques. The procedure is typically quick and done under local anesthesia.

Skin Biopsy
A small section of skin is removed for laboratory analysis to diagnose skin conditions, including rashes, infections, and skin cancer. There are several types: punch biopsy, shave biopsy, and excisional biopsy.

Cyst Removal
Sebaceous or epidermoid cysts can be removed surgically when inflamed, infected, or cosmetically bothersome. The procedure involves excising the entire cyst wall to prevent recurrence.

Lipoma Excision
Lipomas are benign fatty tumors beneath the skin. Surgical removal is recommended if the lipoma is painful, growing, or located in a bothersome area.

Scar Revision Surgery
Improves the appearance of scars caused by injury, surgery, or acne. Techniques include excision, skin grafting, or laser resurfacing depending on scar type and location.

Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags are benign growths often found on the neck, armpits, or eyelids. They can be removed using snipping, freezing (cryotherapy), or cauterization.

Wart Removal
Warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) may be surgically removed using excision, laser therapy, or cryotherapy, especially if resistant to topical treatments.

Basal Cell Carcinoma Excision
Basal cell carcinoma, the most common skin cancer, is often removed through surgical excision with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery
A specialized technique used to remove skin cancer with precision. It minimizes the removal of healthy tissue and is ideal for cancers on the face or other sensitive areas.

Nail Surgery
Used to treat ingrown nails, nail bed tumors, or chronic infections. May involve partial or complete removal of the nail or matrix.

Cryosurgery
A non-invasive technique using liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal skin tissue such as warts, actinic keratosis, or precancerous lesions.

Electrosurgery
Uses electric current to cut, destroy, or cauterize tissue. Commonly used for wart removal, skin tags, and certain types of skin cancers.
