More about Mole Removal

Removing a mole or cyst is typically straightforward, but achieving minimal scarring requires expertise, which Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery excels at. Moles are typically removed surgically or with a laser, while multiple techniques can facilitate cyst removal. If there is a serious concern about the mole being cancerous, a specialized procedure called Mohs surgery may be used. This should be performed by a specialist for the best results.

Surgical Removal

The skin around the mole is cut, the mole is removed, and the remaining edges are stitched together. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes only a few minutes.

Laser Removal

A laser of concentrated light energy is used on the mole which breaks down the pigment and tissue. This precise method minimizes damage to surrounding skin and reduces the risk of scarring.

Simple Excision

Cutting around the mole or cyst and stitching the edges together for a clean removal.

Mohs Surgery

A specialized technique for cancerous moles, removing layers of skin until no abnormal cells remain.

Punch Excision

A small, round tool is used to remove the mole or cyst, then the skin is stitched together.

Curettage and Electrodesiccation

Scraping off the mole or cyst and using electrical current to destroy the remaining tissue.

What About the Scar?

Any tissue removal will leave a scar, but the scar's visibility depends largely on the surgeon's skill. Creating a discreet scar requires detailed knowledge of skin tissue planes, allowing the scar to heal well. For facial moles, it's crucial to have an expert perform the removal to ensure the best cosmetic outcome. As a highly qualified facial plastic surgeon, Drs. Ron and Alex Caniglia excel in this area.

What is the Recovery Like?

Recovery from mole or cyst removal in Scottsdale, AZ at Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery involves the following:

Stitches Removal

If stitches are used, they are removed within one to two weeks.

Healing

The wound will take a few months to heal fully. Initially, scars may look red and raised but will gradually fade and flatten with proper care. The final scar appearance typically occurs after about a year.

Care Tips

Keep the wound clean and dry during initial healing. Protect the scar from the sun for at least the first six months, using a good sunscreen or covering it when exposed. Sun exposure can cause permanent darkening of the scar.
