Surgical Dermatology

Surgical dermatology involves the use of surgical techniques to treat skin diseases, particularly skin cancer, as well as a variety of benign skin growths.

Dermatologic surgeons are trained to perform precise surgical interventions that address both the health and cosmetic aspects of the skin. While some procedures are minor and outpatient, others require more complex surgical skills.

Dermatologic surgeons are trained to perform surgeries ranging from simple excisions to more complex procedures like skin cancer removal

Skin Cancer Treatment

The most critical area of surgical dermatology is the treatment of skin cancers, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Dermatologic surgeons are often trained in Mohs surgery, a specialized technique that allows for the precise removal of cancerous tissue while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible.

Excision of Benign Skin Growths

Surgical dermatology also involves the removal of benign lesions such as cysts, lipomas, warts, moles, and skin tags. Though these growths are not harmful, they can be removed for cosmetic reasons or if they cause discomfort. Dermatologists use excision or cryotherapy (freezing) to safely remove them.

Scar Revision and Keloid Treatment

Surgical dermatologists often perform procedures to improve the appearance of scars from previous surgeries, injuries, or acne. They may use surgical scar revision techniques, laser therapy, or steroid injections to reduce scar tissue and smooth the skin.

Laser Surgery

Dermatologic surgeons use lasers to treat a variety of skin conditions. Laser resurfacing can be used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, or reduce pigmentation issues such as age spots. Lasers are also effective for treating vascular lesions, tattoos, and port-wine stains.

Reconstructive Surgery

After skin cancer removal, especially with Mohs surgery, reconstructive techniques may be needed to repair the treated area. Dermatologic surgeons are skilled in reconstructive methods that ensure minimal scarring and preserve normal appearance and function.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Many dermatologic surgeons also perform minimally invasive procedures like liposuction for body contouring or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to improve the appearance of sagging skin around the eyes.
