Skin Cancer and Mole Removal in Savannah, GA

Moles and other blemishes can often be an indication of skin cancer. Fortunately, these spots can be easily removed by Dr. John Paletta, a plastic surgeon experienced in mole and skin cancer removal in Savannah, GA.

The Procedure

Local anesthesia is used to numb the affected area and the mole or lesion is cut away and sent to a lab for evaluation. Depending on the size and location of the spot, either a small part may be shaved off for a biopsy or the entire blemish may be removed.

The skin is then closed up with sutures. In rare cases of larger skin cancers, a skin flap or graft may be needed.

If skin cancer is detected in the lab results, a follow up procedure may be needed to make sure all affected tissue has been removed.
