Why people consider it
What are the benefits?
- A mole, a cyst, or a lipoma removed
- A scar revised when the old line is the problem
- Done at the Hospital, not in a rented room
Often considered in the situations above. A consultation is the place to talk about the result you have in mind, and whether this procedure is a sensible way there. Nothing is offered until that conversation has happened. Individual results vary.
Some marks are a nuisance. A mole that catches, a cyst that keeps filling, a lipoma under the skin, a scar that has healed in a line you cannot ignore. They can be removed, or the scar revised, as a smaller procedure in the Hospital’s own theatres.
What can be taken away, and what the new scar is likely to look like, is said at consultation. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis. If a mark has changed, that is a reason to be seen, not a reason to wait for a webpage.
