Skin Lesion Removal & Excision Services in Anaheim

A skin excision is a minor surgical procedure that involves removing a skin lesion, mole, cyst, or tumor. It’s commonly used to treat:

• Benign growths (e.g., skin tags, lipomas, cysts)

• Suspicious moles or dysplastic nevi

• Confirmed skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma

• Infected or virus-induced lesions (e.g., plantar warts)

Skin excisions are performed under local anesthesia in our office, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience with minimal downtime.

Skin excisions are recommended for both medical and cosmetic reasons, including:

• Diagnosing abnormal growths via biopsy

• Treating confirmed skin cancers

• Preventing the spread of potentially dangerous cells

• Removing bothersome or unsightly lesions that affect confidence or comfort

Each procedure is customized to your skin type, lesion location, and health history.

1. Consultation & Assessment
   We begin by reviewing your medical history and evaluating the lesion or growth. If needed, we may recommend a skin biopsy prior to full excision.
   
   
2. Local Anesthesia
   The area is numbed to ensure a painless experience during the procedure.
   
   
3. Surgical Excision
   The lesion is removed using a scalpel, surgical scissors, or specialized dermatologic instruments. For certain cases, a laser or electrosurgical device may be used.
   
   
4. Wound Closure
   Depending on the excision size and location, your provider may close the area with sutures or allow it to heal naturally with proper dressings.
   
   
5. Aftercare & Follow-Up
   We provide detailed post-procedure instructions and schedule any needed follow-ups to monitor healing and review pathology results (if applicable).
