At Evolve Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in skin and tissue removal procedures to address various concerns.

These treatments effectively resolve issues like discomfort, potential malignancy, and cosmetic imperfections and restore optimal skin health.
Remove Unwanted Skin
Growths and Tissues
Skin and tissue removal is a medical procedure performed by our board-certified plastic surgeons to excise abnormal growths or unwanted tissues from the skin. This can involve removing lipomas, cysts, moles, or lesions. The procedure typically involves local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort, followed by a precise excision of the targeted area. After removal, the wound is carefully closed, often with sutures, to minimize scarring. This procedure improves cosmetic appearance and can prevent potential health risks associated with skin conditions.
Skin and Tissue Removal Treats:
- Lipomas (benign fatty tumors)
- Skin cysts (fluid-filled sacs)
- Moles (pigmented skin growths)
- Lesions (abnormal skin growths or patches)
- Other benign or potentially harmful skin irregularities
Your Skin and Tissue Removal Options
Lipoma Removal
Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that can appear anywhere on the body. Though typically harmless, they can cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. Our surgeons remove lipomas through a minor surgical procedure. This involves making a small incision over the lipoma, excising the fatty tissue, and then closing the incision with sutures to minimize scarring.
Skin Cyst Removal
Skin cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop under the skin. These cysts can become infected, painful, or unsightly. Our surgeons remove skin cysts by making a small incision, draining the cyst, and then removing the cyst wall to prevent recurrence. The procedure is quick and performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort and a speedy recovery.
Benefits of Skin and Tissue Removal:
- Enhances skin appearance by removing unsightly growths
- Eliminates potentially harmful or cancerous lesions
- Relieves discomfort caused by growths like lipomas and cysts
- Reduces the risk of infections and complications from untreated skin issues
- Increases self-esteem by addressing visible skin concerns
- Most procedures are minimally invasive, with short recovery times
- Provides a long-term resolution to recurrent or bothersome growths
Mole Removal
Moles are common skin growths that may sometimes need removal due to cosmetic reasons or concerns about skin cancer. Our surgeons use precise techniques to remove moles with minimal scarring. Depending on the mole’s size and location, removal can involve surgical excision or shaving the mole off the skin’s surface.
Lesion Excision
Lesions, including various abnormal skin growths or patches, can be symptomatic or unsightly. Our surgeons perform lesion excision to remove these abnormalities. Using advanced surgical techniques, we ensure that the excision is thorough, reducing the likelihood of recurrence and achieving a clean, healthy skin surface that improves overall skin health and appearance.
Skin and Tissue Removal
What Should I Expect During a Skin and Tissue Removal Procedure?
During a skin and tissue removal procedure, you will receive local anesthesia to numb the area. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will then carefully excise the growth or lesion, ensuring minimal discomfort. The wound is closed with sutures, and a bandage is applied to protect the area. Most procedures are completed within an hour.
Is There a Risk of Scarring?
While any surgical procedure carries a risk of scarring, our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring.
How Long is the Recovery Period?
Recovery time varies depending on the size and location of the excision. Generally, most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. Our team will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
