Preparations before surgery
Before the surgery, you will have a thorough consultation with our plastic surgeon. Any necessary medical tests will be performed to ensure that the procedure is safe. It is important to avoid blood-thinning medications, smoking, and alcohol in the days leading up to the surgery.
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.

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.
