Excision skin lesions surgery is a broad term that can encompass any type of surgical procedure to remove a growth or lesion from the skin. This can include something as small as a mole or something larger like a skin cancer.

There are many reasons why someone might opt for excision surgery, but the most common is to remove an unsightly or dangerous growth. Skin lesions can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and excision is usually the best way to deal with both types. The first step in any excision surgery is to numb the area with local anaesthesia. Once the area is numb, Dr Victoria will make an incision around the lesion and then remove it along with a small margin of healthy tissue. Stitches are usually required to close the wound, and you may need to wear a dressing for a few days.

After the surgery, you will be able to go home the same day. The recovery process is relatively quick, though you may experience some swelling and bruising around the incision site. You should be able to resume normal activities within a week or so. If you have a skin lesion that you would like removed, excision surgery may be the best option. Be sure to discuss your options with a qualified dermatologist or surgeon to ensure that you are making the best decision for your health and wellbeing.
