Mole Removal

Patients frequently are concerned about moles or other skin lesions that are present on the face or other parts of their body. Although it is important to have a good cosmetic result, it is more important to make sure the lesion is not cancer or pre-cancer. In certain instances, Dr. Michaels will refer you to a dermatologist for a second opinion to see whether a suspicious lesion appears malignant or benign. Dr. Michaels frequently removes moles is cosmetically sensitive areas and will send them to pathology to determine whether the lesion is benign or cancerous.

Dr. Michaels is frequently called upon by local dermatologists to close the wounds left by excisions of cancerous lesions. Using the local tissue available surrounding the excision, a cosmetically acceptable result is often achievable.

Dr. Michaels performs the majority of these procedures in his office under local anesthesia so your downtime is minimal and your recovery time is quick.
