Facial Skin Lesion Removal Specialist in Sarasota, FL

At Aesthetic Eye & Surgical Arts, we specialize in the precise and safe removal of facial skin lesions, helping our patients achieve both optimal health and enhanced cosmetic results. Facial skin lesions—including moles, cysts, skin tags, warts, benign tumors, or suspicious growths—are common concerns that can affect your appearance and, in some cases, your well-being. Our skilled oculoplastic surgeon, Dr. [Name], is highly experienced in evaluating and removing these lesions, especially those located in the delicate periocular (around the eyes) and facial areas.

Facial skin lesion removal may be recommended for several reasons:

• Diagnosis: To identify the nature of an unusual or changing growth and rule out skin cancer.
• Cosmetic Enhancement: To improve the appearance of your skin and restore confidence.
• Prevention: To address lesions that may cause irritation, infection, or other complications if left untreated.

At Aesthetic Eye & Surgical Arts, we offer a range of state-of-the-art removal techniques tailored to your specific needs, including:

• Surgical Excision: Precise removal with meticulous closure to minimize scarring, often performed under local anesthesia.
• Shave Removal: Gently shaving the lesion flush with the surrounding skin for a smooth result.
• Laser Therapy: Targeting specific lesions with advanced laser technology for minimal downtime and optimal cosmetic outcomes.
 
For any lesion that appears suspicious, we ensure that the tissue is sent for histological evaluation to provide a definitive diagnosis and peace of mind.

At Aesthetic Eye & Surgical Arts, we understand that the appearance and health of your facial skin are important—not only for your well-being but also for your confidence. Our practice specializes in the evaluation and removal of a wide variety of facial skin lesions, combining advanced surgical techniques with an artistic approach to achieve optimal cosmetic results.
 
Many types of skin lesions can develop on the face, some of which may be removed for medical reasons or to enhance your appearance. Common benign lesions we treat include seborrheic keratoses—wart-like growths typical in older adults—and skin tags, which are small, soft, flesh-colored nodules. Moles (nevi) that are changing in appearance or causing discomfort can also be precisely excised by our experienced team, with attention to minimizing scarring and preserving your natural features. We also remove cysts, which are fluid- or semi-solid-filled sacs beneath the skin, as well as milia (tiny white bumps caused by trapped keratin).
 
Beyond benign conditions, we are trained in the identification and surgical management of concerning lesions. Precancerous growths like actinic keratoses (rough, scaly patches from sun damage) can be treated before they progress to skin cancer. Our practice is skilled in the removal of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma—two common forms of skin cancer that may appear as non-healing sores, red patches, or nodules on the face. Melanoma, a more aggressive skin cancer, is also managed with urgency and care, ensuring thorough removal and coordinated follow-up for your safety.

The diagnostic process begins with a comprehensive medical history and physical examination by our highly trained specialists. During your evaluation, our clinicians will inquire about the lesion’s onset, duration, and any changes in size, color, or shape. We also assess for symptoms like pain, bleeding, or itching, and consider relevant personal and family history—particularly regarding skin cancers or other dermatological concerns.
 
A meticulous visual inspection is performed to assess the lesion’s features, including its size, border, color, and texture. To enhance diagnostic accuracy, our clinicians may utilize a dermatoscope—a specialized magnifying tool with a light source—to examine the lesion in greater detail.
 
If a lesion appears suspicious or if the diagnosis is uncertain, we may recommend a biopsy. Depending on the lesion’s characteristics and location, our team—skilled in facial and eyelid surgery—will choose the most appropriate biopsy technique (such as shave, punch, or excisional biopsy) to ensure optimal diagnostic yield while preserving the cosmetic integrity of the area. The tissue sample is then sent for microscopic examination by a pathologist.
 
While advanced imaging or laboratory tests are rarely necessary for most facial skin lesions, they may be considered if there is concern about deeper involvement or possible malignancy.

We understand that facial skin lesions can be both a cosmetic concern and a medical issue. Our board-certified surgeon offer a range of advanced, personalized techniques for the safe and effective removal of facial skin lesions, always prioritizing both your health and aesthetic outcomes.
 
Surgical excision is one of the most reliable methods we use for removing suspicious or bothersome lesions. During this precise procedure, our skilled surgeons carefully excise the lesion along with a small margin of healthy tissue, ensuring complete removal while minimizing visible scarring. This is typically performed under local anesthesia in our comfortable office setting.
 
For benign, raised lesions, we may recommend a shave excision. This minimally invasive technique involves delicately shaving the lesion to match the surrounding skin’s level, often leaving little to no trace after healing.
 
For patients seeking precision and minimal downtime, laser therapy represents a state-of-the-art solution. Our advanced laser systems can target and vaporize unwanted lesions with exceptional accuracy, preserving the appearance and integrity of your facial skin.
 
In select cases, we may prescribe topical therapies such as imiquimod or 5-fluorouracil creams, which are effective for certain superficial lesions by harnessing your body’s own immune response or inhibiting abnormal cell growth.
 
Every patient receives a thorough evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment based on the lesion’s type, location, and your individual needs. Our team combines medical expertise with an artistic eye to deliver results that restore both your confidence and natural beauty.
