Removal of moles and skin lesions

What is mole and skin lesion removal?

Removal of moles and skin lesions involves surgical excision of unwanted or medically suspicious skin areas. All removed moles are sent for laboratory examination to rule out cancer. The goal is to achieve a neat aesthetic result while eliminating any risk of skin cancer. The result is a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing skin surface.

Who is this procedure suitable for?

The procedure is suitable for people with bothersome, irritating, or suspicious skin changes. Typical candidates have moles, skin growths, or pigment spots that affect their self-confidence or cause physical discomfort. The surgeon will thoroughly assess the condition of your skin and your medical history to determine your suitability.

Preparations before surgery

Before the operation, a thorough consultation is conducted with our plastic surgeon Dr. ILeana Standal. Any necessary medical examinations are performed to ensure that the treatment is safe. It is important to avoid blood-thinning medication, smoking, and alcohol prior to the operation.

How is the procedure performed?

Moles and skin lesions are removed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes small, precise incisions to remove the skin lesion. The stitches used are usually self-dissolving, and scars are minimally visible and aesthetically pleasing.

After the operation (aftercare)

After the procedure, you may experience slight swelling and tenderness in the area. The normal recovery period is short, and you will receive advice on care and hygiene for optimal healing. You can usually resume work and daily activities within a few days, but you should wait about a week before exercising.

Risks and possible complications

Common side effects include slight redness, swelling, and temporary tenderness. Serious complications are very rare, but infection or abnormal scarring may occur. We will provide you with detailed information about this during the consultation.

Expected result

The final result is usually visible after a few weeks when the skin has completely healed. The result is permanent, and the mole or skin change does not normally return. It is important to have realistic expectations about the result.

Price and financing

The price of treatment varies depending on the scope. We offer installment payment and financing options so that you can easily invest in your well-being.
