SKIN LESIONS Surgery
Is Surgical Removal Right For Me?
Every surgical procedure involves a certain amount of risk and it is important that you understand these risks and the possible complications associated with them. In addition, every procedure has limitations.
An individual’s choice to undergo a surgical procedure is based on the comparison of the risk to the potential benefit. Although the majority of patients do not experience complications, you should discuss them with your plastic surgeon to make sure you understand all possible consequences of surgical revision of scars.
What Can I Expect Right After My Skin Lesion Treatment?
- Sutures are normally removed within 4-14 days after surgery.
- Most patients return to non-strenuous work 7-10 days following surgery.
- Strenuous activities can be resumed approximately 3 weeks after surgery.
- Swelling, bruising, and soreness could take up to several weeks to dissipate.
What Can I Expect Over Time?
Over time, patients should avoid direct exposure of their incision to tanning beds or sunlight for one year after surgery. Apply SPF of 45 or higher to the area, or cover it when exposed to the sun.

Other Popular Procedures
Breast Lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, enhances breast appearance by removing excess skin and firming the surrounding tissue. This surgical procedure results in perkier, fuller-looking breasts with a youthful contour.
LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction, often called "lipo" by patients, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific body areas. It targets regions such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks, particularly where diet and exercise have failed to achieve desired results.
KYBELLA™
KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved injectable medication designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. It's a non-surgical alternative to liposuction that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid—a molecule naturally found in the body that helps break down dietary fat. KYBELLA® works by destroying fat cells under the chin, leading to a noticeable reduction in fullness. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, eliminating the need for further treatment after achieving your desired look.
