What to expect from a mole removal surgery?
-
Initial consultation: During the first personal meeting with Dr. Anu Kapoor, a full clinical assessment of the moles is conducted. Then based on the suitability of the candidate for mole removal Dr. Anu explains in detail the preferred approach for getting rid of the moles to the patient. There is also a discussion regarding the recovery and likely outcomes of the surgery. All the questions related to the treatment are also addressed by Dr. Anu Kapoor during the consultation.

During a mole removal surgery: Patients who are undergoing mole removal surgery must be provided with local anesthesia. The area around the mole must be cleaned properly followed by placing a surgical drape around it to keep the working area sterile. After these preparations, Dr. Anu Kapoor finally excises the mole (typically, cutting it around in an oval shape). This mole can be preserved in a jar and sent for further analysis to the laboratory for diagnosis of skin cancer (in the case when the mole is considered cancerous). If required, the surgical site is sutured and covered with a dressing. The result for analysis of moles for cancer can be received by the patient within 24 hours of the surgery.

Post-surgery
The patient can return to their usual activities or work soon after the mole removal surgery. In case, there is some pain or discomfort, pain-relieving medications can be consumed as recommended by the doctor.
For surgical excision of moles, a small scar is expected to be present. Sometimes, the patient may be asked to schedule an appointment with their dermatologist a few days later for wound inspection and change of dressing (if any) and another visit to the nursing team for removal of stitches. If the excision area becomes swollen, red, or bleeds then be sure to contact the doctor.
