Skin Excision Information
During the procedure, Dr. Fiumara carefully excises the lesion with a scalpel, ensuring clear margins around the affected area. The excised tissue is often sent for pathological analysis to confirm diagnosis and complete removal.
Treatment length
The skin excision procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the lesion. This allows for thorough removal and optimal cosmetic results.
Recovery time
Recovery from skin excision is minimal. 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 skin excision is minimal. Local anaesthetic is used to ensure a painless experience during the procedure. Any post-surgery discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long will it last?
The results of skin excision are permanent, as the targeted lesion is completely removed. Regular follow-up appointments help monitor skin health and prevent recurrence.
