Minor Surgery: Removal with Sutures

Many lumps and blemishes can be removed in the surgery with minimal discomfort, excellent healing and no scarring. Depending on the lesion to be removed, various minimally invasive techniques can be used.

Some lesions will require excision (cutting out). A local anaesthetic will be given into the area surrounding the lesion. The lesion will then be removed surgically. The deficiency in the skin left following the surgical procedure is closed using fine synthetic sutures to leave a faint scar once healed. In addition to naevi (moles) and skin tags, other treatment areas can include scars, enlarged pores and cysts. Once removed and sutured the wound will be cleaned and a dressing applied. You will be reviewed in the clinic for suture removal after 5 to 7 days.
