Dr. Aivaz's Surgical Dermatology Procedures

Surgical dermatology typically involves a painless procedure to remove damaged, cancerous, or unwanted tissues. The most common treatments involve removing growths to eliminate cosmetic blemishes. However, removing a mole or treating skin cancer may be essential for preventing future health risks.
  • Cysts: Generally noncancerous, cysts are fluid-filled lumps that form beneath the skin. Treatment may involve injections or surgical drainage.
  • Lipomas: These fatty growths appear between the skin and your muscles. While generally benign, they can still present physical discomfort and cosmetic issues.
  • Skin cancer: Multiple forms of skin cancer exist, and each of them should be treated. Dr. Aivaz can perform excisional removal of certain types of skin cancer, and she can refer you out to a Mohs specialist for certain cases.
  • Unwanted moles:Moles are generally harmless, though some may turn cancerous. Still, their cosmetic impact can become problematic. They are easy to remove through surgical excision.
  • Skin growths: Other growths such as skin tags are also largely benign. Surgical removal of them can restore a smooth look to your skin.

What Is Dermatological Surgery Like?

Though the exact elements of your procedure will depend on your situation, you can be assured that most surgical treatments are quick, painless, and low-stress. Dr. Aivaz always numbs the surgical area to ensure you feel no pain as she performs the procedure. Your procedure can last as short as a few minutes, with more complex cases still taking less than 1 hour. Afterward, you can return home or go about your day.

Recovery Time for a Surgical Dermatology Procedure

Most surgical dermatology treatments require no downtime, and patients can drive home after the procedure. Your skin will need special care while it heals to avoid scarring or infection. Dr. Aivaz will provide a full set of instructions for your post-procedure period, including how to care for the surgical site. Generally, it takes a few weeks for most surgical sites to heal. Depending on the complexity of your procedure, Dr. Aivaz may see you for a follow-up visit to ensure you are healing smoothly.
