Reconstructive Surgery

Skin Lesion Surgery

Removal of moles, cysts, lipomas, and other skin lesions with careful, discreet closure.

What it is

Skin lesion surgery removes growths such as moles, cysts, lipomas, and other benign or suspicious lesions. The lesion is removed completely and the wound is closed with care to leave the neatest possible scar.

Any lesion that is removed can be sent for laboratory analysis to confirm what it is, which is important when a lesion looks suspicious. A plastic surgical approach focuses on complete removal alongside a discreet, well-placed closure.

What it can improve

  • Removal of unwanted or symptomatic skin lesions
  • Lesions that are changing, irritated, or suspicious
  • A neat, discreet closure of the resulting wound
  • Peace of mind through laboratory analysis where needed

It does not leave the skin scar-free, since removal always leaves a scar, and the diagnosis depends on laboratory analysis rather than appearance alone.

Quick facts

  • Procedure time: 15–60 minutes
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia
  • Clinic stay: Same-day
  • Recovery: A few days, depending on site
  • Exercise: Strenuous activity from about 1–2 weeks
  • Final result: Scar matures over several months

Before the procedure

The lesion is assessed and the plan, including whether it will be sent for analysis, is explained. You will receive simple instructions for the day of the procedure.

During the procedure

Under local anesthesia, the lesion is removed completely and the wound is closed carefully to minimize scarring. The specimen is sent for laboratory analysis where appropriate.

After the procedure

The area is kept clean and protected while it heals. Stitches are removed or dissolve as advised, and the scar continues to fade over the following months. Any laboratory results are discussed with you.

Results: what it can and cannot achieve

Complete removal with a discreet scar is the goal. Surgery cannot avoid a scar entirely, and if analysis shows a lesion needs wider treatment, a further step may be recommended. Your surgeon explains the findings and any next steps.

Possible risks and complications

Skin lesion surgery is generally low risk but still carries some risks. Possible risks include:

  • A permanent scar
  • Bleeding or infection, which are uncommon
  • Recurrence of certain lesions
  • Change in skin color around the scar
  • Occasional need for further surgery if analysis indicates

Any lesion that looks suspicious is taken seriously and sent for analysis, and findings guide whether further treatment is needed.

The best surgeon

I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with Matteo Amoroso, and I can honestly say I couldn't have wished for a better surgeon. From the moment I met Matteo, I felt the sense of security I was looking for. He was kind, attentive, and professional from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions, which made me feel well-informed before the surgery. I never had to go home and wonder about anything because he was so thorough in his explanations. It's now been three weeks since my surgery, and even though the healing process is still ongoing, I'm already incredibly happy with the result. The change is greater than I had dared to hope for, and I feel so grateful that I chose Matteo. I have more surgeries I want to undergo in the future, and there's no doubt that Matteo will be my first choice then too. I warmly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery!

A pro

I've had two surgeries with Matteo. The first was liposuction on my stomach, and most recently, my eyes – specifically, my lower eyelids and eyebrows. Matteo suggested a unique technique for my eyebrows that no other surgeon had proposed. This allowed me to remove excess skin under my eyebrows without needing an eyebrow or forehead lift, which I wasn't interested in. I'm extremely happy with the results of both my procedures. Matteo is a true professional; he loves his work, and you're always met with kindness and genuine care. He's an excellent communicator, explaining everything clearly and answering all questions and concerns. You feel completely confident in his knowledge and experience. Matteo also has a wonderful ability to make you feel understood; he listens carefully and is just as dedicated and invested as you are in achieving a successful procedure and outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Matteo. I've had surgery 6 times in total, with the last two being with him. Whatever my next procedure may be, I will undoubtedly choose Matteo first again.

The best surgeon

Matteo is an incredibly skilled surgeon whom I highly recommend. I underwent a major tummy tuck, and from the very first consultation, Matteo was professional, calm, and very accessible. He took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel secure, involved, and well-informed throughout the entire process. He thoroughly explained the procedure, recovery, and what results I could expect, which gave me great confidence going into the surgery. Everything went very well without any complications, and I am very happy with the result. I would undoubtedly choose Matteo again if I were to have more procedures in the future.

The best choice for a plastic surgeon!

Dr. Amoroso has performed several operations on me, including a neck and facelift with fat grafting, a lip lift, eyelid surgery, breast and tummy tucks, and liposuction on my knees. All operations have been successful and exceeded my expectations. I have worked with doctors for 50 years and am very impressed by Dr. Amoroso's artistry and skill. He is truly an asset to this profession and to patients who desire excellent results and the peace of mind that comes from being cared for in a responsible and professional manner.

It couldn't have been better! Everything has exceeded my expectations. Matteo is professional, skilled, competent, caring, reassuring, and experienced. Thank you, Matteo!
