Non Surgical Skin Lesion Removal

If you have a skin lesion in a cosmetically sensitive area, skin lesion removal with a skilled plastic surgeon is advisable to minimize scarring and other stigmata of surgery. This patient was bothered by a benign, non pigmented skin lesion (intradermal nevus) near her left alar facial groove. A minor procedure was performed in the office under local anesthesia where the lesion was excised. The scar was placed along the natural crease of the left alar-facial groove. The scar healed beautifully and is barely visible. The patient is shown at 4 weeks post op in her after photos.
