What is Skin Tag and Mole Removal Surgery?
Skin Tag Removal is a day-case procedure typically performed under Local Anaesthetic. [Image showing the difference between a pedunculated skin tag and a sessile lesion]
Depending on the size and base of the tag, the surgeon will use one of three techniques: Snip Excision (cutting the tag at its narrow base), Shave Excision (shaving the lesion flush with the skin), or Formal Excision (surgically removing the lesion and closing with a fine stitch). Unlike 'freezing' or 'burning' methods used in some clinics, surgical excision by a plastic surgeon provides a cleaner margin and allows the tissue to be sent for histological analysis to definitively rule out malignancy.
The benefits of this procedure include:
- Immediate and permanent removal of irritating skin growths.
- Pain-free procedure completed in under 30 minutes.
- Professional cosmetic results with minimal risk of scarring.
- Eliminates discomfort from friction with clothing or jewellery.
- Peace of mind through histological confirmation of benign results.

What does Skin Tag and Mole Removal Surgery involve?
Professional removal follows a sterile surgical protocol to ensure safety and an optimal cosmetic finish.
The surgeon identifies the growth and cleans the area with an antiseptic solution.
A small amount of local anaesthetic is injected to ensure the procedure is entirely painless.
The tag is removed using microsurgical instruments and any minor bleeding is sealed.
A small dressing or adhesive strip is applied; no downtime is required.
How Long is
the Recovery
AFTER SKIN TAG AND MOLE REMOVAL SURGERY?
Recovery is exceptionally quick. A small scab will form over the site and naturally fall away within 7 to 10 days. You should keep the area dry for the first 24 hours and avoid picking at the scab to ensure the smoothest possible healing.
Sun protection is recommended on the area for several weeks to prevent pigmentation changes.
When Will I See
the Final Results?
Once the area has healed, the result is a flat, smooth skin surface. While a tiny mark may be visible initially, it typically fades to a faint, unnoticeable point over 4 to 8 weeks. The removal is permanent for that specific lesion.
