How do accredited plastic surgeons remove moles?
Surgical excision
-
Excision is a very common technique for mole removal. After cleaning and numbing the area, your surgeon uses a scalpel to separate your mole from the rest of your skin.
Depending on the type of mole, we'll take a margin of healthy skin to ensure that all of the atypical cells are removed. Then, using forceps to grasp the segment, lift the mole away. Bleeding is normal, and your accredited plastic surgeon may apply pressure to the area or burn (cauterize) it to stop the bleeding before stitching the area back together.
Shave excision
-
Another common technique for mole removal is shave excision. Shave excision can provide a sample of tissue for analysis, and people are generally pleased with the results after healing.
For shave excision mole removal, the surgeon will use a single or double-bladed razor to carefully shave the growth off to the level of the skin around it. They may lightly burn (cauterize) the area around the removed mole to improve the appearance of any scar after healing.
Moles removed by shave incision are somewhat more likely to come back than moles removed by surgical excision.

Is mole removal a good idea?
