Surgical Excision Information
During the procedure, Dr. Fiumara numbs the area with a local anaesthetic and excises the lesion with a scalpel. The removed tissue is often sent for pathological analysis to confirm the diagnosis and ensure complete removal. The wound is then carefully sutured to promote healing and minimise scarring.
Treatment length
The surgical excision procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the lesion.
Recovery time
Recovery from surgical excision varies. Most patients experience slight redness or swelling at the excision site, which typically subsides within a few days. Stitches, if used, are usually removed after one to two weeks.
How painful is it?
Discomfort during surgical excision is minimal. Local anaesthetic ensures a painless experience during the procedure. Post-surgery discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long will it last?
The results of surgical excision are permanent, as the targeted lesion is completely removed. Regular follow-up appointments help monitor skin health and prevent recurrence.
