Surgical dermatology
Benign Lesion & Mole Removal
Surgical removal of benign moles and growths for medical or cosmetic reasons — with pathology when indicated.
Medical vs. cosmetic removal
Medical removal is covered when a lesion is suspicious or symptomatic. Cosmetic removal of benign moles is typically self-pay.
Scarring
We orient incisions along natural skin lines to minimize visible scarring. Most heal to a fine line within months.
