Cosmetic skin surgery

Cosmetic mole or skin lesion removal, is a minor outpatient procedure with minimal down time, performed under local anaesthesia. This also applies to lesions deep to the skin, such as cysts and benign lipomas (fatty lumps). As a general rule, surgery on the body is performed with absorbable sutures, but for the face, removable sutures are used commonly taken out at 5 days.
