Mole & Lesion Removal

Safe. Precise. Histologically confirmed. Scar-minimised. Skin lesions -- moles, cysts, lipomas, skin tags, birthmarks, and other growths -- are exceedingly common. Most are entirely benign, but some warrant removal for clinical reasons: suspicion of malignancy, rapid change in size or colour, bleeding, recurrent infection, or functional discomfort. Others are removed for aesthetic reasons -- particularly when they are on the face or other visible areas. As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Bhavya Sree brings a specific advantage to lesion removal: meticulous technique designed to minimise scarring while ensuring complete removal. All excised lesions are sent for histopathological analysis -- providing definitive diagnosis and complete peace of mind.

Any lesion that is new, changing, bleeding, irregular in border or colour, or causing concern should be assessed promptly. Dr. Bhavya Sree will determine whether excision and histology is indicated -- and performs the procedure with the least possible scarring.

Shave Excision Scar minimised by aligning incisions with skin tension lines. Punch Excision Raised, benign lesions (skin tags, raised moles, seborrhoeic keratoses). Minimal stitch required. Heals to a flat, inconspicuous Anaesthesia mark. Duration Hospital Stay Small, well-defined lesions -- ideal for small moles on the face. Histology Clean action with a single stitch closure. Return to Work Suture Removal Local anaesthesia -- virtually pain-free Final Scar Result 15-45 minutes per lesion Outpatient -- home immediately All excised tissue sent for analysis -- standard practice Same day or next day 5-14 days depending on site 3-12 months

Frequently Asked Questions Do I need a referral to have a mole removed? No referral is needed. You can book directly with Dr. Bhavya Sree. At consultation, she will assess whether removal is clinically indicated, cosmetically reasonable, or both -- and recommend the appropriate technique.

Will removed lesions be tested? Yes -- every excised lesion is sent for histopathological analysis as standard practice. This confirms the diagnosis, ensures complete excision of any lesion with malignant potential, and provides complete clinical documentation for your records.

What if a removed lesion comes back positive for cancer? If histology reveals a malignant or pre-malignant lesion, Dr. Bhavya Sree will coordinate with an oncology team immediately. In many cases, re-excision with wider margins is performed as a curative procedure. Ongoing management is coordinated with dermatology and oncology colleagues as appropriate.
