Removal  of  moles, lesions,  tags,  cysts and blemishes

Multiple benign skin lesions, such as cysts, moles, skin tags, cysts and areas of discolouration may be removed or reduced with minor surgery or laser treatments. All such lesions are always examined carefully to ensure that there is no underlying malignancy (skin cancers, etc). ​
Picture
Lesions can vary from small vascular tumours which can be treated with laser to larger ones needing resection and repair
Picture
A skin cancer can destroy the facial tissues, necessitating reconstruction
Picture
The use of flaps and grafts together with the application of applied surface and cross-sectional anatomy allows us to preserve the function of facial tissues whilst giving very reasonable cosmetic results

What are moles, lesions, tags, cysts and blemishes?

A mole is any raised lesion, although many moles will be smooth, but lesions may be smooth or rough! Skin tags are benign growths from the epidermis and dermis. Cysts are fluid-containing lesions with clear or white fluid within them. Blemishes are generally red or brow lesions, sometimes caused by proliferating blood
​vessels and at other times by pigment.
​

Some growths will affect the eye and the white of the eye necessitating reconstruction after removal
"Well, the last time I had a picture taken I could hardly see my eyes because of the weight of heavy eyelid. Then I paid attention to how I was actually using my eyes and I really noticed when I was looking at anything especially the computer I was straining my forehead to see better. Since I have had it done I no longer have to lift the forehead and tilt my head to see. It is amazing! I love..."  D. Rock  63 Yrs Old with Fat Droopy Eyes - Salt Lake City, UT

I never had moles or tags and now look at me…

We become like our parents! Over time, we all develop skin lesions. These are especially common on the neck, chest and back, but arms and legs may also be affected. Many of these lesions have romantic names like Campbell de Morgan spots, but look anything but romantic. Some moles will have hair growing from them, whilst others may be smooth. Often, patients will complain that some of these lesions become tender when pressure is applied to them. So back lesions may become tender because of weight being applied when sleeping. At other times, lesions
​may rub on clothing (bra straps, etc).

Should I have moles or tags removed?

If clinical examination does not show anything suspicious, there is no reason to have any of these lesions removed. If, however, they bother you cosmetically, one can have them removed safely. The choice should always be yours. ​
Picture
Repair of large defects necessitates using a combination of techniques

This was a kissing pigmented nevus which we removed with surgery and laser

How are these moles and lesions treated?

Under local anesthesia, a number of techniques may be used, ranging from the use of lasers to a scalpel to surgical scissors to electro-cautery to radiofrequency. The aim is always to use the modality that gives the best result with the least amount of scarring. Lasers may be used for some pigmented or vascular lesions. Chemical peels may be used for certain pigmented lesions.

Multiple brown and red spots need multiple laser treatments but give nice results on the neck, chest, face and hands

How will my scars look?

By and large, the scars should look considerably better than the lesions removed. Small areas of pinkness
​may persist for a few weeks, however.
Picture
Sometimes, removal of cancerous lesions results in the loss of part or the whole of the eyelid. Again, reconstruction can give us nice results
Picture
Reconstruction after removal of moles or cancer requires proper planning of the reconstruction. The result can be very satisfying
Picture
No reconstruction can be performed without some scars, but with proper plastic surgery techniques, these can be kept to a minimum

When should I have moles and lesions removed?

Small lesions are relatively simple to remove and repair. Larger lesions may require more extensive surgery and surgical flaps to repair the defects. Large cystic tumours may be deeper in the tissues and need sedation anesthesia.
​ If in doubt, ask and we will guide you.
