Skin Surgery - Lumps & Bumps Removal and Scar Revision Surgery
Skin surgery refers to a group of surgical procedures that are used to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including benign tumours, cysts, and other growths. It also includes procedures that are used to improve the appearance of the skin, such as scar revisions and skin rejuvenation.
Some common skin surgery procedures include:
- Skin lesion removal: Surgical excision is a common procedure used to remove benign tumours, cysts, and other growths. The surgeon will make an incision in the skin, remove the growth, and close the wound with sutures.
- Scar revision: Scar revision is a procedure that is used to improve the appearance of scars, whether they are the result of injury, surgery, or acne. The surgeon may remove the scar tissue, reposition the tissue to minimize the appearance of the scar, or use skin grafts or flaps to cover the scar.
- Laser resurfacing: Laser resurfacing is a procedure that uses a laser to remove the outer layer of damaged skin and stimulates the growth of new skin cells. This procedure can be used to improve fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars.
It’s important to note that these procedures are not one-size-fits-all, and the best procedure for you may depend on your individual needs and goals. It is always recommended to consult with a specialist plastic surgeon at Centre for Surgery to discuss the best options for you.
