This non invasive surgery technique is used to ensure removal of all cancerous and non cancerous areas of concern by cutting them out. Patients have said this technique is nearly painless and requires little recovery time. Excision Surgery is available at our office for those who suffer with melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers.
What Should I Expect?
First we will numb the effected area with local anesthetic making for a painless removal. Then we cut the tumor out in addition to some healthy skin that surrounds the tumor. After, that we remove a bit of healthy skin to ensure that the tumor has not spread. Finally, we stitch the remaining skin together in which you will most likely be left with a scar the size of the incision. This type of surgery will leave a scar.
