lumps and bumps

SCAR REVISION

Not every procedure requires a trip to the operating room. We offer a range of office-based treatments that can address common concerns such as unwanted skin growths, bothersome scars, and keloids—all performed under local anesthesia for your comfort and convenience. These treatments are ideal for patients looking for quick, safe solutions with minimal downtime.

In-Office Procedures: Minor Corrections, Meaningful Results

Benign skin and soft tissue lesions such as:
Cysts
Lipomas (fatty tumors)
Skin tags
Moles
Other non-cancerous growths

Anyone with a bothersome lump or bump that causes discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic concern. These procedures are often performed for peace of mind, functional improvement, or aesthetics.

What to Expect:

Performed under local anesthesia
Small incision made to remove the lesion completely
Sutures may be placed depending on size and location
Minimal downtime; most patients return to normal activity quickly
Pathology testing available if indicated

Lumps & Bumps Removal (Anywhere on the Body)

What It Treats:
Raised, thickened, or itchy scars that grow beyond the original wound (keloids) or stay within its borders (hypertrophic scars).

Who Benefits:
Patients with painful, itchy, or highly visible raised scars—especially in high-tension areas like the ears, chest, shoulders, or jawline.

What to Expect:

Options may include steroid injections, surgical excision, or laser treatment
In many cases, combined treatment is recommended (e.g., excision + post-op steroid injections)
Office-based, usually 15–30 minutes
Local anesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure
May require multiple sessions for optimal control and prevention of recurrence

Keloid & Hypertrophic Scar Treatment

What It Treats:
Unfavorable or prominent scars that are wide, indented, misaligned, or cosmetically concerning.

Who Benefits:
Patients with scars from prior surgery, trauma, or injury who wish to improve their appearance, texture, or alignment. Ideal candidates are those who are 6+ months out from initial injury or surgery.

What to Expect:

Procedure performed in-office with local anesthesia
Involves removing the old scar and re-closing the area with precision techniques
May use Z-plasty, geometric rearrangement, or tension-reducing closure techniques
Scar improvement is not complete removal, but usually a significant aesthetic and functional upgrade
May be combined with post-op treatments (e.g., silicone therapy, steroid injections, laser)
