Skin and Subcutaneous Surgery
About the procedure
Skin and subcutaneous surgery involves excision of cysts, lipomas, or benign/malignant lesions for cosmetic or functional improvement. Procedures are performed under local or general anesthesia, with careful excision and wound closure using sutures. Advanced techniques may be employed to minimize scarring if cosmetic outcomes are important. Diagnosis includes clinical examination, imaging such as ultrasound or MRI for deep lesions, and biopsy if malignancy is suspected. Postoperative care involves keeping the wound clean, managing pain, and follow-up to monitor healing and recurrence.
