Understanding Dysplastic Moles and Their Risks

What Are Dysplastic Moles?

  • Larger size compared to common moles

Warning Signs to Watch For:

  • Rapid growth or size changes
  • Irregular or evolving color patterns

How it Works

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.

Are you a good candidate for dysplastic mole surgery?

  • Noticeable changes in moles, such as rapid growth or irregular borders.
  • Family history of melanoma or other skin cancers.
  • Concern about atypical moles and desire for proactive care.
  • Large or irregularly shaped moles requiring evaluation.
  • Early treatment to reduce potential complications.
  • Preference for regular skin screenings and follow-ups

How do we monitor your progress?

We take a comprehensive approach to monitoring your recovery and long-term skin health. After your procedure, we schedule regular follow-up appointments to evaluate the healing process and address any concerns you may have. Our dermatological team conducts detailed assessments during these visits to ensure the surgical site is healing correctly and that no new abnormalities are present.
