Mole Removal

Moles are usually pigmented lesion of the skin that may be present since birth or developed through time during our aging process, as a result of sun exposure. Mole could develop in any area of our body but it’s more noticeable at the face area. There are a lot of treatment options for pigmented lesion of the skin, such as laser treatment, dermabrasion, chemical peeling and surgical excision. But most plastic surgeon prefers to have the mass excised and submit the specimen for histopath analysis. This is done to rule out the malignant nature of the mass, which would require more aggressive and invasive treatment. Incision lines are usually oriented along the natural folds of the body or face. So that the resulting scar would be inconspicuous and fades with time. But patient must be informed that the resulting scars are much better at the face area than the extremity. This is usually performed under local anesthesia at the out patient surgery clinic. Non absorbable sutures are usually used because it usually has better result compared to absorbable suture materials. And then sutures are removed on the 4th to7th post operative day.  There could be some minor swelling and bruising that eventually subside after 7 to 10 days.
