Skin Surgery
Skin surgery is crucial in treating medical and cosmetic skin concerns. Surgical dermatology offers precise, practical solutions, whether you’re dealing with skin cancer, benign growths, or scars that affect your confidence. At New Wave Dermatology and Laser, each procedure is approached with expert care, an eye for detail, and a deep understanding of skin health and aesthetics.
What is Skin Surgery?
Skin surgery refers to a variety of procedures performed to remove, repair, or improve conditions affecting the skin. Depending on the nature of the procedure, local anesthesia is often used, and recovery is typically straightforward with minimal downtime. Every treatment is tailored to your skin type, anatomy, and specific diagnosis.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly specialized technique for treating certain types of skin cancer, particularly basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. It allows for the complete removal of cancerous tissue while preserving healthy skin. Mohs surgery offers the highest cure rates and is especially valuable for cancers on the face or other cosmetically sensitive areas.
Skin Cancer Excisions
Traditional excision is often the best treatment for skin cancers that aren’t appropriate for Mohs surgery. This involves removing the tumor and a small margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal. Dr. Hedayati uses advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing while ensuring your safety.
Excisions of Benign Growths
Cysts and lipomas are types of benign growths that can be uncomfortable, unsightly, and sometimes even painful, but safe and effective removal is possible with expert care.
Moles
/Unwanted Lesions
Moles, skin tags, and other benign lesions can be removed for cosmetic or medical reasons. Whether the lesion is changing in appearance or simply bothersome, Dr. Hedayati offers expert assessment and minimally invasive removal. Every excision is done with a focus on preserving your skin’s appearance and function.
Scar Revision
If a scar is affecting your confidence or causing discomfort, surgical revision can improve its texture, size, or visibility. Dr. Hedayati uses a range of techniques to create smoother, more even results. Scar revision is highly individualized, and treatment plans are developed based on the type and location of the scar.
Upper
Eyelid Surgery
Upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to restore a more youthful, rested appearance. By reshaping the upper eyelid contour, whether done for cosmetic or functional reasons, upper blepharoplasty can dramatically enhance the most expressive feature of the face.
