What is dermatological surgery?
The Dermatologic surgery Dermatologic surgery is a medical specialty that treats benign and malignant skin lesions through surgical procedures. It involves removing skin lesions such as cysts, nevi, and lipomas, as well as cancerous skin tumors like carcinomas and melanomas. The primary goal of this surgery is to ensure complete excision of the lesion while repairing the skin to preserve its function and aesthetic appearance. Dermatological surgery thus combines techniques for removing skin tumors and repairing the skin to provide both a therapeutic solution and an optimal aesthetic result. The vast majority of dermatological surgeries are performed under local anesthesia. benign and malignant skin lesions through surgical procedures.

When should you see a plastic surgeon?
If you notice any abnormalities on your skin or mucous membranes—such as a mole that changes in appearance—it is crucial to have the lesion examined by a dermatologist. The dermatologist will be able to make a diagnosis and, if necessary, refer you to a dermatologic surgeon for treatment.
Naevus (moles)
Moles are clusters of pigment-producing cells that are present at birth or develop over time. Some moles can grow abnormally, potentially leading to complications such as melanoma. Surgical removal—a quick procedure performed under local anesthesia—helps prevent these risks. Laboratory analysis of the removed tissue ensures an accurate diagnosis. Complications are rare and are generally limited to a slight scar.

Melanoma
Melanoma is a malignant skin tumor that develops from melanocytes, often as a result of excessive exposure to UV rays. The surgical procedure involves removing the lesion along with safety margins to prevent recurrence. A thorough analysis of the surrounding tissue is sometimes necessary. Risks include prolonged healing or local tenderness, but these are rare thanks to modern techniques.

Lipoma and cyst
Lipomas are benign growths caused by a cluster of fat cells, often influenced by genetic factors.
Cysts, such as sebaceous cysts, form when a gland or hair follicle becomes blocked, sometimes due to irritation or infection
They are surgically removed for cosmetic or medical reasons, or in cases of infection. The procedure, performed under local anesthesia, is straightforward and aims to completely remove the mass to prevent recurrence. Complications are very rare and may occasionally involve mild postoperative inflammation.

Basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma is a skin tumor associated with prolonged sun exposure. Although it is not metastatic, it must be treated to prevent local progression. The surgery, performed under local anesthesia, involves the precise removal of the lesion. Risks, such as a small scar or temporary redness, are well managed thanks to the expertise of our surgeons.

Scar revision
An unsightly or bothersome scar can result from an injury or poor healing. Revision surgery can reshape the scar to improve its appearance or function. This procedure promotes more discreet and natural-looking healing. Risks are limited to temporary tenderness or mild swelling.
