What is Skin Lesion Removal?

Skin lesion removal is a surgical procedure in which a non-cancerous (benign) growth is removed from the skin on the face or neck. These benign lesions include nevi (moles), skin tags, and other spots amenable to surgical removal. The areas where the lesions are removed are then closed in one- or two-layers using sutures. The sutures used to approximate the skin are removed at a follow-up appointment.

Most candidates for skin lesion removal surgery range in age from their twenties (20s) to seventies (70s). A consultation is essential to determine candidacy for the procedure, because there may be factors that preclude this procedure for certain individuals.
