Standard Excision

Standard Excision Treatment

Standard excision, or surgical excision, is a commonly used surgical procedure in dermatology to remove skin lesions, including benign growths, suspicious moles, and skin cancers. It involves surgically cutting out the lesion and a surrounding margin of healthy tissue.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. The dermatology provider will remove the lesion using a scalpel, ensuring complete excision while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue. Depending on the size and location of the lesion, sutures may be required to close the wound.

Standard excision treatment is a versatile procedure that accurately removes various skin lesions. It also provides the advantage of obtaining a tissue sample that can be sent for further laboratory analysis, aiding in the accurate diagnosis and identification of any underlying conditions.

After the procedure, the wound will need proper care to promote healing and minimize scarring. Our dermatology providers will provide detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care to ensure optimal healing and cosmetic outcomes.
