FAQ
When should you see a doctor for minor surgery?
Patients consult for a minor surgical procedure when a skin lesion is bothersome, either because of its location or because of its unsightly appearance.
How long is the appointment for minor surgery?
Appointments are 30 to 60 minutes long.
What are the risks associated with minor surgeries?
Minor surgery normally involves only a small incision under local anesthesia. There is no significant tissue damage. The risk of infection is low and the recovery time is fast.
What is the risk of recurrence after minor surgery?
There is always a risk that a lesion will come back after minor surgery. The lesions that recur are most often epidermal or sebaceous cysts, warts, skin tags and lipomas. The doctor will explain the possibility of recurrence to you during your consultation.
Is there a follow-up appointment after minor surgery?
Normally, your doctor will tell you if you need to have a follow-up appointment. If you notice anything unusual in the treatment area after minor surgery, be sure to call the clinic for a quick follow-up appointment.
What are the risks of scarring after minor surgery?
In general, the larger the lesion, the more difficult it is to remove. There may be a scar once the wound has healed. The degree of scarring depends on your age, the location of the lesion, and the surgical technique used by the doctor.
Will a single appointment be enough to remove the lesion?
Usually, one treatment session is enough. If there are any changes or requirements for more sessions, the doctor will notify you in advance.
Do minor surgeries require medication?
In general, minor procedures do not require medication. For any post-procedure pain or discomfort, over-the-counter pain relievers are usually sufficient.
