Our Comprehensive Approach to Dysplastic Mole Surgery in Gainesville
Our dermatological specialists will conduct a detailed consultation at your initial appointment, including an in-depth skin examination with advanced diagnostic tools. We’ll review your medical history, discuss potential risk factors, and evaluate any suspicious moles. This thorough process ensures an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.
How is my treatment plan developed?
Your treatment plan is meticulously customized to address your specific diagnosis, skin condition, and medical history. During your consultation, we carefully assess the mole’s characteristics, including its size, location, and any associated risks. We then develop a tailored surgical strategy to ensure the most effective removal while prioritizing minimal scarring and optimal cosmetic results.
How long will recovery take?
The recovery period after dysplastic mole surgery typically varies depending on the size, depth, and location of the mole removed. For most patients, the healing process is relatively quick, with full recovery occurring within 1–2 weeks. During this time, you may experience mild tenderness or redness at the surgical site, which is normal and usually subsides within a few days.
