Consultation
We assess the skin lesion and plan ultrasound or removal if needed.
Skin lesions are carefully removed with attention to the least noticeable scar possible and, where indicated, histopathological examination.
Both cosmetically bothersome and suspicious skin lesions can be removed by the plastic surgeon.
Incisions are placed according to aesthetic principles wherever possible to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible.
During the consultation, we assess whether this treatment fits your situation.

Let us guide youOften suitable for
Cosmetically bothersome skin lesion
Suspicious skin lesion
Superficial or deeper lesion
Many procedures are performed under local anesthesia. Suspicious lesions are usually sent for histopathological examination on the recommendation of the dermatologist.
When an additional safety margin proves necessary, a second excision may follow. On important aesthetic areas of the face, excision can be guided during surgery with frozen sections.
If simple closure is not possible, we discuss reconstructive options in advance.
Assessment
The lesion is assessed clinically; for deeper structures, ultrasound is usually requested first.
Removal
The lesion is carefully removed with attention to aesthetics.
Examination and closure
Suspicious lesions are sent for histopathological examination; reconstruction is used if needed.
