What is Skin Surgery?
Skin surgery involves the careful removal of benign or concerning skin lesions to improve appearance, relieve discomfort, or address potential health risks.
At Pitshanger Skin Clinic, our dermatology specialists use local anaesthetic and advanced surgical techniques to ensure safe, effective, and cosmetically precise results.
Common conditions treated include:
- Moles – removed for cosmetic reasons or if showing signs of change.
- Cysts – fluid-filled or semi-solid lumps beneath the skin that may enlarge or become irritated over time.
- Lipomas – benign fatty lumps, often removed if large, unsightly, or uncomfortable.
- Skin tags & warts – harmless growths that can catch on clothing or cause irritation.
- Keloids – raised scars that can be surgically revised or treated for cosmetic improvement.
- Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) – slow-growing skin cancers commonly found on sun-exposed areas, safely excised under local anaesthetic.
Every treatment includes a full clinical assessment and personalised care plan, ensuring minimal scarring, fast healing, and natural-looking results.

Skin Surgery at Pitshanger Skin Clinic: What to Expect
- Consultation & Assessment
Your specialist will examine the lesion, discuss your concerns, and confirm whether surgical removal is appropriate. Some cases may require a biopsy or imaging for further evaluation. - Local Anaesthetic
A local anaesthetic is administered to ensure a completely pain-free experience. - Surgical Removal
The lesion is precisely excised using fine surgical techniques to minimise trauma to surrounding tissue. - Closure & Dressing
The area is carefully closed (with or without stitches, depending on the lesion) and dressed to protect the site during healing. - Aftercare & Follow-Up
You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions and, where necessary, a follow-up appointment to review healing and cosmetic results. Most areas heal within 1–3 weeks.

Cosmetic & Medical Dermatology: Frequently Asked Questions
Is skin surgery painful?
No. Procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic, so you will not feel pain during the treatment. Some mild soreness afterwards is normal.
How long does healing take?
Most procedures heal within 1–3 weeks, depending on the size and location of the lesion. Your clinician will monitor your progress.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly with our dermatology team. However, we’re happy to liaise with your GP if needed.
Are all moles dangerous?
Most moles are harmless. However, any mole that changes in size, colour, or shape should be examined promptly to rule out melanoma.
Can multiple lesions be removed in one session?
Yes. Small lesions such as skin tags or warts can often be removed in one session, and discounts may apply for multiple removals.
Do you offer other skin treatments?
Yes. In addition to surgery, we provide a full range of medical, laser, and cosmetic skin treatments to improve texture, tone, and skin health.
Can skin surgery help with acne scars?
Yes. Certain acne scars can be improved with minor surgical procedures such as excision or subcision, often combined with laser or microneedling.
