Atypical and Benign Mole Removal (Excision)

A mole is a common skin growth, usually circular in shape and darker pigmented than the surrounding skin. Moles are created by grouped cells that produce melanin, the skin’s natural pigment.

Atypical moles are moles with irregular characteristics like size, color and shape. Although these types of moles are often benign, they bring a greater risk of melanoma to the patient. Dr. Kingsley performs a surgical excision to remove atypical moles.

What to Expect

How long does the procedure take?
The procedure can take 30-60 minutes depending on size.
What does recovery time look like?
Following the procedure, we highly recommend no heavy lifting, no exercise, no submerging in water (no swimming or baths, showers are ok) until the sutures are removed.
- Face and Scalp: Sutures are in place for 5-9 days.
- Body: Sutures are in place for 2 weeks.
