Skin Lesion Removal (Minor Surgery) - Dr Shahe

Our doctor-led service removes suitable benign or suspicious skin lesions with precision and clear aftercare. Following consultation and examination, Dr Shahe will confirm the best approach and explain likely scarring, healing times and what to expect. Local anaesthetic is used to keep you comfortable throughout.

 

Most removals take 20-40 minutes, and you can usually return to normal activities the same day (avoid heavy exercise until advised). If a lesion is not appropriate for in-clinic removal or needs urgent specialist care, we’ll guide your referral promptly.

​

What it treats

Benign lesions (skin tags, seborrhoeic keratoses, cysts, lipomas), some moles, and selected lesions requiring removal - confirmed at consultation.

​​

How it works

After consent and local anaesthetic, Dr Shahe performs the treatment as appropriate; the site is dressed, and you receive written aftercare.

​​​

Who it’s for / contraindications

Adults seeking removal for cosmetic reasons. Medical conditions/medications (e.g., anticoagulants), infection at the site, or poor wound-healing risk may warrant delay or a different plan.

​​

Risks & side-effects

Bleeding, bruising, infection, pain, scarring or keloid formation; numbness or pigment change; recurrence if incompletely removed. Rarely, delayed healing or reaction to local anaesthetic.

​​​

Downtime & aftercare

Usually back to routine the same day; keep dressings clean/dry, avoid swimming/sauna, and limit strain on the area. Use SPF on healing skin.

​​

When you’ll likely see results

Immediate lesion removal; scar appearance refines and matures over weeks to months.
