Minor Skin Surgery
Expert removal of moles, cysts, lipomas and more – with care and precision.
At Charles Loh Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, we offer safe, effective, and minimally invasive skin surgery for a wide range of minor conditions. Whether you’re concerned about a mole, cyst, lipoma or a suspicious skin lesion, our consultant-led service ensures you’re in expert hands from consultation to follow-up.
Minor skin surgery is performed on-site at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital under local anaesthetic, meaning you can return home the same day with minimal downtime. If a procedure requires general anaesthetic, we can arrange for this to be carried out in a fully equipped operating theatre for your comfort and safety.
What We Treat
We specialise in the diagnosis and surgical removal of:
- Skin Moles – Including atypical or suspicious moles; removed for medical or cosmetic reasons
- Cysts – Such as sebaceous or epidermoid cysts
- Lipomas – Benign fatty lumps beneath the skin
- Skin Tags & Warts – Causing irritation or cosmetic concern
- Keloids & Hypertrophic Scars – Scar tissue overgrowth requiring specialist revision
- Skin Cancers – Including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma (with histology)
- Other benign or suspicious lesions – All treated with expert clinical judgement
All excised tissue is sent for histopathological analysis, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and peace of mind.
