Removing skin lesions, lumps, or cysts can be a stressful decision for many people. ASET Hospital in Liverpool prioritises your safety, comfort, and aesthetic outcomes, ensuring that lesion removal procedures are carried out with minimal scarring.

Whether it’s a cosmetic concern or a medical necessity, we deliver professional care with a focus on achieving the best possible results.

Here’s how ASET Hospital ensures you have a seamless experience, from consultation to aftercare.

Expert Plastic Surgeons You Can Trust

At ASET Hospital, your lesion removal procedure will be performed by consultant plastic surgeon Mr Hassan Shaaban, a highly experienced, British-trained NHS consultant. With over 25 years of expertise in plastic surgery, his methodical and patient-focused approach sets the tone for the exceptional care provided.

Additionally, our hospital employs cutting-edge techniques to minimise risks, reduce scarring, and achieve a natural aesthetic. Each case is meticulously assessed to personalise the treatment plan to your specific needs. This bespoke approach is why patients trust us for procedures ranging from simple mole removals to more complex treatments, such as lipoma excisions.

Comprehensive Pre-Procedure Assessment

Careful planning is the key to achieving safe and effective outcomes. Before any lesion or lump removal, a comprehensive assessment is conducted. Our specialists evaluate the growth to confirm whether it’s benign or requires further medical attention. If you’re concerned about fast-growing or painful lumps, we recommend consulting your GP for initial evaluation, ensuring no time is lost in treating potentially serious conditions.

Once cleared for removal, our surgeon will walk you through the options – be it surgical excision for lumps like lipomas or treatment alternatives. The consultation also includes discussions about expected outcomes, potential risks, and what to expect during the recovery process.

Advanced Surgical Techniques for Minimal Scarring

The procedure for removing a lesion or lump generally involves making a small incision to access and remove the mass. At ASET Hospital, our surgeons utilise advanced closure techniques to minimise and make any resulting scar as inconspicuous as possible. Types of procedures include:

  • Surgical excision: This is the most common method, ensuring the complete removal of the lesion or lump.
  • Liposuction: For some lipomas, liposuction may be a suitable option, resulting in even smaller scars. However, patients should be aware that incomplete removal increases the likelihood of recurrence and carefully weigh this in consultation with their surgeon.

Regardless of the chosen method, our surgeons aim to leave you with smooth, natural-looking skin by prioritising precision and delicacy in every step of the procedure.

Addressing Scarring Proactively

Scar management is a critical component of our aftercare. While even the best surgical procedures leave some scarring, ASET Hospital offers access to advanced revision techniques that can help soften, flatten, or fade scars over time. For post-procedure scar improvement, options include:

  • Silicone gel sheeting or topical applications have been proven to reduce inflammation and improve scar visibility.
  • Steroid injections for scars that are raised or tight.
  • Laser treatments to even out pigmentation and blend the scar with the surrounding skin.
  • Surgical scar revision for older or wider scars that need refinement.

Our holistic approach ensures that no detail is overlooked, giving you confidence in the final results.

Risks and Aftercare for Your Peace of Mind

ASET Hospital takes every precaution to minimise risks associated with lesion or lump removal. While complications are rare, potential risks such as infection, haematoma, or scarring are clearly explained during your consultation. Should any issue arise, our team is fully equipped to manage it swiftly and effectively.

Aftercare is equally important. Patients are generally advised to:

  • Avoid strenuous activity or exercise for at least seven days.
  • Keep the wound dry for the first 24 hours before showering.
  • Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure proper healing.

Recovery times vary depending on the size and location of the lesion, although many patients return to work within one or two days.
