How Are Minor Surgical Procedures Performed?

On the day of your surgery, the doctor will explain what the procedure will involve and answer any questions.

Your doctor will explain the potential risks and ask you to sign consent forms. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, which may cause slight discomfort during administration. After that, you should experience minimal discomfort

Each procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. We’ll send samples to our local pathology lab and notify your GP of the results.

What Is Our Approach to Cyst Removal?

Cyst removal is one of our most commonly performed procedures. Whether dealing with epidermoid or sebaceous cysts, our surgeon will carefully assess the best approach for removal to minimize scarring and prevent recurrence. The procedure typically involves careful excision after the area has been numbed with local anaesthetic.

What About Mole and Skin Lesions Treatment?

We offer expert treatment for various skin lesions, including mole removal and treatment of skin tags. Each case is treated individually, with careful attention to both medical necessity and cosmetic outcomes.

Our approach ensures that even benign growths are handled with the same level of care and precision as more complex cases. We utilize superficial surgical techniques when possible to minimize scarring.

How Do We Handle Post-Operative Care?

After your procedure, you’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing. We monitor your recovery progress and provide guidance on wound care and activity restrictions.

Our team remains available to address any concerns during your recovery period.

What Are the Costs and Payment Options?

We believe in transparent pricing and provide detailed cost information during your consultation. Our fees reflect the high-quality care, expert surgical intervention, and comprehensive aftercare we provide.
