Both cysts and moles can cause concern for the patient, either because they are aesthetically troubling, or because there is anxiety that the cyst or mole may be malignant.
Cyst & Mole Removal
Why consider cyst and mole removal?
Depending on the cyst or the mole, Dr. Lee can perform either direct excision of a cyst or mole or shave excision. We may send the specimen for further analysis under the microscope if necessary. The goal is to completely remove the cyst or the mole while minimizing the scarring. If necessary, scar rehabilitation at PERK plastic surgery includes creams, microneedling or lasers. Dr. Lee will discuss both surgical and non-surgical options to treat your mole or cyst during your private Los Angeles consultation.
