Mole Removal
Moles are common skin growths, and while most are harmless, some may be suspicious, bothersome, or cosmetically distracting. At Ivy Dermatology & Surgery Clinic, mole removal is performed with the highest standards of medical expertise and artistic precision, ensuring both your health and your confidence are preserved.
Why Consider Mole Removal?
Patients choose mole removal for different reasons:
- Medical Concerns – Suspicious moles may require removal and biopsy to rule out skin cancer.
- Cosmetic Concerns – Moles in visible areas (face, neck, arms) may affect confidence.
- Practical Issues – Raised moles may catch on clothing, jewelry, or razors, leading to irritation or bleeding.
At Ivy Dermatology, every mole removal is carefully tailored to your needs, with equal attention to safety and appearance.
How Mole Removal Works
Mole removal is typically a quick, outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia.
- Evaluation – Dr. Rohani examines the mole, determining whether removal is for cosmetic purposes, medical necessity, or both.
- Anesthesia – The area is numbed for comfort.
- Removal Technique – Depending on the mole, it may be:
- Shave Removal – The mole is shaved down to skin level. Best for raised, non-cancerous moles.
- Excisional Surgery – The mole and a margin of surrounding skin are carefully excised and sutured. Often used for suspicious lesions requiring biopsy.
- Closure & Healing – Sutures (if needed) are placed with meticulous care to minimize scarring.
- Pathology (if indicated) – Removed tissue may be sent for laboratory analysis to ensure safety.
Recovery & Results
- Downtime: Most patients resume normal activities immediately.
- Healing: Sutures (if placed) are typically removed in 5–14 days, depending on location.
- Scarring: While any procedure may leave a scar, Dr. Rohani’s reconstructive expertise ensures the most natural and refined cosmetic outcome possible.
- Long-Term Care: Removed moles do not usually regrow, although new moles may develop elsewhere on the skin.
