Mole removal sydney is a safe, surgical procedure that removes cancerous or suspicious moles from the skin. It is a highly effective treatment, particularly in Australia which has some of the highest rates of skin cancer worldwide. During your consultation, our doctors will evaluate the mole to determine whether it is benign or potentially cancerous. They will then use a technique appropriate for your individual situation and aim to achieve the best cosmetic outcome.

Several different procedures can be used to remove a mole from your skin, with the chosen method depending on the goal of the treatment, the color and size of the mole and its location on the body. For example, a full excision biopsy (which can also be known as a surgical skin lesion removal) involves cutting out the mole along with a small amount of surrounding tissue. This leaves a small scar, but one that will fade with time.

During a surgical mole removal procedure, our doctors will disinfect the area and administer a local anesthetic to numb the area before using a sharp tool to cut away the mole. The scab that is formed after the procedure will need to be left alone and allowed to fall off naturally, as picking at it may cause an infection. We recommend that you apply an ointment to the area and use sunscreen to protect the area from sunlight while it heals.

The doctor will also examine the site of your mole and take a few samples of the surrounding skin for pathology to ensure that the mole is not cancerous or otherwise posing a risk to your health. The biopsy is usually sent to another pathologist in Australia or overseas for further evaluation.
