EVERYTHING ABOUT SKIN LESIONS

Skin lesions operation is an aesthetic and plastic surgery operation performed in order to remove the unhealthy tissue formations such as abnormal moles, warts and tumors from the body by surgical intervention. Fundamentally, abnormal and unhealthy tissue formations on the skin, especially in the skin, hair, nails, and especially in medical tissues that deal with the health problems that occur in the field of dermatology, also known as the branch of skin. Surgical interventions for skin lesions must be performed with the correct dermatological diagnosis of the lesions. Skin lesions, which can occur due to many different causes such as the harmful effects of the sun or caused by some viruses, can be simple and benign tissue deterioration, but can also be malignant enough to carry the risk of skin cancer. In this respect, applications for skin lesions, which are likely to be a health problem that can seriously threaten life beyond aesthetic concerns, are often carried out by the joint treatment process of dermatology and plastic and aesthetic surgery specialists. Skin lesions that are removed from the body by surgical intervention are sent to pathology for examination and analysis.

HOW IS SKIN LESIONS OPERATION DONE?

Skin lesions operations can be performed for removal of various lesions that may occur on the skin and which are not potentially malignant, to be removed from the body in case of aesthetic disturbance, or to ensure the removal of suspected abnormal and unhealthy tissue formations from the body by surgical intervention. The aesthetic surgeon forms the scope of the operation by offering method recommendations to the patient according to the treatment process to be established jointly with the dermatology specialist regarding the skin lesions within the field of dermatology. Cleaning of the area where the application will be made is provided when starting the skin lesions operation. The surgical lesion is removed from the skin and the incision areas are repaired with sutures. The operation is completed by dressing or leaving the lesion area open depending on the application. Depending on the size of the lesion to be taken and the width of the operation area, the duration of the operation performed by general anesthesia or local anesthesia may vary between 30 minutes and 1 hour.

HOW LONG IS THE HEALING PROCESS AFTER SKIN LESION OPERATION?

The pain that may be felt in the first postoperative period is not intolerable and can be prevented with painkillers. The patient is discharged on the same day and can return to work and social life in a period ranging from a few days to 1 week depending on the application. Mild pains are normal at the post-operative site and these effects disappear during the first week of recovery. Sutures are taken by the doctor within a period of 5-10 days depending on the application area.

DOES SKIN LESION OPERATION LEAVE SCAR?

One of the most worrisome issues after the skin lesions operation is the scarring of the skin tissue after the surgical procedure performed by performing incision. Although it is difficult to completely remove the incision marks of the surgical procedure, advanced methods aim to minimize the possibility of incision marks to remain visible, even if the scars remain to be hidden in the most invisible areas of the body as possible.
