Frequently Asked Questions
What is surgical dermatology?
Surgical dermatology refers to in-office procedures performed by a dermatologist to remove, biopsy, or treat skin conditions that can't be addressed with topical or oral treatments alone. Common procedures include skin cancer excision, mole removal, cyst drainage, and lipoma removal.
Are surgical dermatology procedures done in-office?
Yes. Most dermatologic surgery procedures are performed right in our Miami Beach office under local anesthesia. There is no need for a hospital visit, and most patients return to normal activities the same day or within a day or two.
Is dermatologic surgery painful?
Procedures are performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure itself. Some tenderness in the treated area is normal in the days that follow and is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How do I know if I need a surgical dermatology procedure?
Your dermatologist will recommend a surgical procedure if a skin concern can't be adequately addressed with non-surgical treatments. This might include a suspicious lesion that needs to be biopsied or excised, a cyst or lipoma causing discomfort, or a mole or growth you'd like removed.
Will surgical dermatology procedures leave scars?
Any procedure that involves an incision has the potential to leave a scar. Our team uses precise techniques and careful closure methods to minimize scarring as much as possible. The visibility of any resulting scar depends on the size and location of the treated area and your individual healing process.
How long does recovery take after dermatologic surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Most patients return to normal activities the same day or within one to two days. Sutures, when used, are typically removed within one to two weeks. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions at the time of your procedure.
Is surgical dermatology covered by insurance?
Many surgical dermatology procedures are covered by insurance when they are medically necessary, such as skin cancer removal or biopsy. Cosmetic procedures, such as elective mole or growth removal, may not be covered. Our team can help clarify what to expect during your consultation.
What should I do if I notice a new or changing skin growth?
See a dermatologist as soon as possible. New or changing growths should always be evaluated promptly, particularly if they are growing, bleeding, or changing in color or shape. Early evaluation and treatment lead to the best outcomes.
