Mole Removal
(Lip Enhancement or Lip Enlargement)
Mole removal offers a
solution for individuals seeking to remove unwanted
moles from their body. This procedure can be performed
using various methods; a mole can be shaved off,
surgically removed, or removed through laser treatment.
The type of removal
method is determined by the surgeon, and depends on the
condition of the mole. Shave excision is typically used
to treat protruding moles; after the skin is numbed with
a local anesthetic, the mole above the surface of the
skin is removed with a scalpel. If the mole is flat or
if melanoma is suspected, excision biopsy is necessary.
Through this method, a doctor removes the full depth of
the mole and the wound is sutured. Because lasers seal
blood vessels and evaporate the tissues they remove, the
need for cutting and sutures is eliminated when
undergoing laser treatment. (Coarse hair that sometimes
grows in a mole can only be removed permanently with
excision of the whole mole.)
Length:
About 15 minutes to 1 hour.

Skin irritation, different degrees of scarring.
