BEFORE DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY

Prior to dermatologic surgery, you will meet with our experienced dermatologist and dermatology team for a consultation. During this consultation, we will perform an evaluation and discuss any symptoms you may have. After determining and diagnosing the cause of your symptoms, our dermatologist and dermatology team will begin discussing possible treatment plans with you. Your treatment plan will be customized specifically for your needs.

AFTER DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY

The recovery process following dermatologic surgery will vary from patient to patient and will be based on what procedure you had done, the length of the procedure, and your body’s own healing rate. Many dermatologic surgeries are very minor and involve minimally invasive techniques that only require a small downtime. Following excisional surgery, you may choose to undergo scar removal. Our dermatologist and dermatology team will provide you with a detailed list of instructions to follow to ensure proper healing.
