What Types of Skin Concerns Do We Treat?

Skin issues can occur anywhere on the body and may be caused by various conditions. You might have a mole or skin tag you’ve always wanted removed, a lipoma or cyst that has grown over time, or a visible scar you want to minimize. We offer several options to remove or improve the appearance of many types of skin concerns, including:

  • Lipoma removal: Lipomas are fatty tumors that can form deposits under the skin, which we are often able to remove through excision.
  • Keloid treatment: Keloids are overgrown scar tissue that can be flattened and softened using steroid injections, surgical removal, laser therapy or other techniques to improve appearance.
  • Sebaceous cyst removal: Cysts containing trapped keratin and skin oils can be excised.
  • Ganglion cyst drainage: Fluid-filled lumps on joints and tendons can be aspirated or surgically removed.
  • Scar revision: Scars from previous injuries/surgeries that are raised, uneven, or cosmetically unappealing can be surgically revised or plumped with dermal fillers to become flush with surrounding skin.
  • Mole/skin tag excision: Benign surface bumps can be removed if they are bothersome, prone to irritation, or of cosmetic concern.

    Using a variety of surgical and minimally invasive techniques, the experienced surgeons at The Plastic Surgery Center can help restore your appearance and confidence.

What to
Expect with
Minor
Cosmetic Procedures

Considering a minor cosmetic procedure to address your beauty and health concerns? Though your experience will depend on what you have done, you can expect the following:

Consultation: You'll discuss your concerns and goals with our team so we can determine the best treatment plan together.

Preparation: You may need to avoid certain medications/supplements before your procedure.

Anesthesia: Minor procedures usually use only local numbing medication. You remain awake and comfortable.

Treatment: This depends on the procedure but may involve injections, small incisions, laser/light treatments, peels, or more. Minor cosmetic procedures are usually quick, taking less than an hour.

Recovery: There is generally minimal downtime with minor cosmetic treatments. You may have some redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness for 1-2 days. Most people can resume normal activities right after.

Follow-up: Results improve over several weeks/months as your swelling subsides. We will follow up to determine if touch-up treatments are needed.
