About Mole Removal

Mole removal, performed by specialists in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, is a precise medical procedure to excise benign or suspicious skin growths (nevi). The goal is to eliminate unwanted moles for cosmetic enhancement or to biopsy potentially cancerous lesions for definitive diagnosis. Surgeons employ advanced techniques like surgical excision, shave removal, or laser ablation, tailored to the mole's size, depth, and location. This ensures minimal scarring and optimal aesthetic outcomes. The procedure is typically quick, performed under local anesthesia, and prioritizes both patient safety and skin health. It effectively addresses concerns ranging from personal appearance to critical medical screening.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three doctors with...

I'd been to three doctors with this weird fatigue and pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mohanty was the first one who actually stopped and listened. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
