Mole and Swelling

Mole Removal Clinic in Mohali

Moles, also known as nevi, are common skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body. They are usually brown or black and can appear alone or in groups.

Many individuals choose to have their moles removed for various reasons. Some may find them aesthetically unpleasing, while others may be concerned about the potential for skin cancer. Regardless of the reason, mole removal is a straightforward procedure that can be performed by a skilled cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Renu.

Pros

  • Mole removal can enhance your appearance and boost your self-confidence.
  • If a mole is suspected to be precancerous, its removal can prevent the development of skin cancer.
  • The procedure is usually quick, and recovery time is minimal.

Cons

  • As with any surgical procedure, mole removal carries a risk of scarring.
  • There’s a chance the mole could grow back after removal.

What should I expect from my mole removal procedure?

The procedure will leave your skin looking smoother and more uniform in color. If the mole was raised, the skin will be level after the mole is removed.

How is mole removal performed?

Mole removal is typically performed under local anesthesia. The specific technique used will depend on the size and location of the mole. For smaller moles, a technique called shave excision may be used, which involves shaving off the mole with a sharp scalpel. For larger moles, excision surgery may be necessary, which involves cutting out the mole and stitching the wound closed.
