Who is this surgery for?
- Suspicious moles showing changes in size, shape, color, or texture (ABCDE criteria).
- Moles or cysts causing recurrent irritation, inflammation, or pain due to friction or location.
- Cosmetic concern: removal of unsightly moles or cysts for improved appearance and self-confidence.
- Diagnostic necessity: to obtain a tissue sample for pathological analysis to rule out skin cancer.
- Cysts that are infected, rapidly growing, or causing functional impairment.
- Patient request for removal of a congenital or acquired lesion for personal or professional reasons.
How to prepare
- Initial consultation with the surgeon to discuss goals, medical history, and examine the lesion.
- Disclosure of all medications, especially blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin), which may need temporary adjustment.
- Avoidance of smoking and alcohol for at least one week prior to surgery to promote healing.
- Arranging for transportation home after the procedure, as driving may not be advised.
- Showering with an antibacterial soap on the morning of the procedure to reduce skin bacteria.
- Wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the surgical site.
Risks & possible complications
- Common: Temporary bruising, swelling, redness, and mild discomfort at the excision site.
- Scarring: While minimized, some degree of permanent scarring is inherent to any skin incision.
- Infection: Rare risk requiring prompt treatment with antibiotics if signs like pus or increased redness occur.
- Bleeding or hematoma: Minor bleeding is common; significant collection of blood under the skin is rare.
- Nerve damage: Potential for temporary or, very rarely, permanent numbness near the surgical area.
- Recurrence: Possibility of the cyst reforming if the entire cyst wall is not completely removed.
- Allergic reaction to local anesthetic or suture materials (very rare).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Keep the surgical site clean, dry, and covered with the provided dressing for 24-48 hours as instructed.
- Gently clean the area with mild soap and water after the initial dressing removal, patting it dry.
- Apply prescribed antibiotic ointment and a fresh bandage daily to prevent infection.
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and swimming for 1-2 weeks to prevent wound stress.
- Do not pick at scabs or sutures; dissolvable sutures will fade, others are removed in 7-14 days.
- Protect the healing scar from sun exposure with high-SPF sunscreen for several months to prevent darkening.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for suture removal and to monitor healing and biopsy results.

Ananya Shah, a 28-year-old marketing executive,...
Ananya Shah, a 28-year-old marketing executive, had a small but prominent mole on the tip of her nose since childhood. While benign, it was the first thing people noticed, and she had grown increasingly self-conscious, often avoiding photos or tilting her head in conversations. Her dermatologist confirmed it was not medically concerning but referred her to a reconstructive surgeon for aesthetic removal. The surgeon recommended a precise elliptical excision to minimize scarring. The in-office procedure under local anesthesia was quick and painless. Recovery involved gentle care and sun protection. The fine-line scar faded beautifully over six months. Ananya's emotional journey shifted from a lifelong fixation on a perceived flaw to a profound sense of liberation; she felt her face was finally her own.
