Minor Surgery

Perfect Skin Solutions provides doctor-led minor surgery for suitable moles, cysts and other benign skin lesions at our clinic in Southsea, Portsmouth. Following an appropriate assessment, our doctors can advise whether removal is suitable and discuss the most appropriate procedure based on the type, size and location of the lesion.

The procedure recommended will depend on the type of skin lesion being treated, its size, depth and location, and whether histological examination is required. Minor surgery is generally carried out under local anaesthetic in our purpose-built surgical suite.

Depending on your assessment, treatment may involve an appropriate lesion-removal technique or full surgical excision with stitches. Where clinically required, removed tissue can be sent for private histology laboratory testing, with any associated laboratory fees discussed before treatment.

Our minor surgery services include Mole Removal, Cyst Removal and Skin Tag & Blemish Removal, alongside assessment and treatment of other suitable benign skin lesions.

Aftercare


This is dependent on the site of surgery, the type of lesion removed and the technique used. You will usually be advised to apply petroleum jelly (Vaseline) from a new pot to the wound, to aid healing. It is best to avoid getting the wound site wet for 24-48 hours but specific advice will be given to you at the time of the procedure.

FAQ

In theory yes you can. However, Dr Patel will need full details of all your medication and medical history at the consultation, to allow him to best advise you on how things can proceed. If you are on warfarin, please bring your warfarin card with you, which gives information such as your recent and target INR values.

Please note, the above aftercare is just a guide. Full aftercare advice will be given to you when you attend your appointment with us.
