Surgical Mole/Lesions Removal

Many patients have nevi or “moles” they don’t like, or various other benign lumps and bumps, and would like them removed.

Every week, Dr. Szeto excises a large number of benign and cancerous lesions and is pleased to offer this service to surgical candidates. Dr. Szeto uses meticulous plastic surgical techniques for excision and closure of benign lesions, and his fees are private.

Procedure

Mole removal is performed in a controlled clinical setting under local anesthetic for comfort. Using precise surgical technique, the lesion is carefully removed while preserving the integrity of the surrounding skin. Following the procedure, gentle pressure is applied to minimize bruising, and detailed aftercare instructions are provided to support optimal healing.

If surface sutures are placed, they are typically removed within 7 days to ensure a clean, refined result.

What to expect

At Visage Skin Clinique Mole Removal surgery, begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Szeto. During this visit, your concerns are carefully assessed, and a treatment plan is designed with both medical precision and aesthetic outcome in mind.

You will also be guided through the healing process, including how the skin repairs and how scars naturally mature over time. While all excisions result in a scar, careful technique and proper aftercare allow it to heal as a fine, discreet line that softens gradually over the course of a year.

Detailed scar management is reviewed, including sun protection, proper wound care, and when to begin gentle scar massage to support optimal healing and the most refined result possible.
