Excisions and Removals: Reclaiming Your Skin's Beauty
At Smart Skin Dermatology, we understand the impact that skin concerns like cancer, scars, and moles can have on your confidence and well-being. Our team of experienced dermatology providers offers a range of excision and removal procedures to address these concerns effectively and restore your skin's natural beauty.
Surgical Excisions: Achieving Complete Cancer Removal
When battling skin cancer, complete removal is crucial. Surgical excisions are the gold standard for removing various types of skin cancer, including Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, and Melanoma. During this procedure, a board-certified dermatologist or advanced practice provider precisely removes the cancerous tissue along with a surrounding margin of healthy skin, ensuring complete eradication of the tumor.
The Excision Process:
- Local Anesthesia
Ensuring your comfort is our top priority. The area will be numbed with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the procedure. - Precise Removal
Our skilled board-certified dermatologist and advanced practice providers utilize advanced techniques to carefully remove the cancerous tissue and a surrounding margin of healthy skin. - Microscopic Examination
The excised tissue is sent to a laboratory for examination by a pathologist, who confirms the complete removal of the cancer. - Stitching and Recovery
Once complete removal is confirmed, the incision is carefully closed using stitches. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions to help you heal comfortably and achieve optimal results.
Scar Revision: Transforming Scars and Restoring Confidence
Unsightly scars can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress. At Smart Skin Dermatology, we offer scar revision procedures to improve the appearance of scars, restore functionality, and alleviate any discomfort.
Scar Excision
For severe contracture scars, surgical excision removes the scar and surrounding damaged tissue, followed by skin flap or graft reconstruction for improved appearance and mobility.
Other Techniques
We utilize various techniques like laser resurfacing, injections, and dermabrasion to smoothen irregularities and enhance the texture of scar tissue.
Mole Removal: Addressing Concerns and Enhancing Appearance
Moles can be harmless or cancerous, making them a source of worry for many. Our dermatologists can assess your moles and recommend the appropriate removal method, depending on their size, depth, and potential for malignancy.
Shave Method
For shallow moles, this minimally invasive technique uses a small scalpel to shave the mole with minimal scarring based on area of removal.
Punch Method
For deeper moles, a circular instrument removes the mole and surrounding tissue for a deeper removal and is closed with sutures forming a linear scar.
Excision
For larger or suspicious moles, surgical excision ensures complete removal and allows for biopsy to confirm the absence of cancerous cells.
Blepharoplasty: Rejuvenating Your Eyes
Drooping eyelids can create a tired appearance and impact your vision. Blepharoplasty is a minor surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the upper or lower eyelids, revitalizing your eyes and restoring a youthful appearance.
