Lesion Removal in Pittsburgh, PA
Lesion Removal
Addressing lesions, particularly those with irregular edges or varying shades, is crucial as they can develop into severe skin cancers like malignant melanoma. Keratoses, raised yellowish-brown lesions, often appear on sun-exposed areas and can progress to basal or squamous cell cancer if untreated. At Aestique Plastic Surgery, lesion removals are minimally invasive and usually done under local anesthesia, taking 15 to 45 minutes. Most patients have minimal discomfort and no downtime. For complex cases, Dr. Lazzaro may advise limited physical activity. Book a consultation today for personalized lesion removal advice.
