Mole Excision
Mole excision is a minor surgical procedure used to remove moles that are suspicious, growing, or affecting appearance. The procedure involves numbing the area with local anesthesia, carefully excising the mole along with a small margin of surrounding tissue, and closing the wound with sutures or allowing it to heal naturally. Mole excision not only helps in cosmetic improvement but also allows for histopathological examination to rule out malignancy. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and commonly performed in dermatology and dermatosurgery clinics.
- Precise Removal: Ensures complete excision of the mole along with surrounding tissue to prevent recurrence.
- Cosmetic Improvement: Minimizes scarring and improves skin appearance, especially on visible areas like the face and neck.
- Safety and Accuracy: Performed under local anesthesia with sterile techniques, reducing risk of infection.
- Diagnostic Benefit: Excised moles can be sent for histopathology to rule out malignancy or other skin disorders.
- Minimal Downtime: Quick recovery with proper post-procedure care; sutures are removed within days and healing continues naturally.
