Personalised care, natural-looking results

Who Is a Good Candidate

  • ✓Moles that are cosmetically bothersome, irritated by clothing/shaving, or of clinical concern
  • ✓Any mole with recent changes in size, shape, color, or bleeding should be evaluated first
  • ✓Good general skin health

Procedure Details

Performed under local anesthesia. Depending on the mole's depth and clinical appearance, it is either shaved flush with the skin or excised with a small margin of surrounding tissue and closed with sutures. Any mole with concerning features is sent for pathological examination. The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes.

Recovery Timeline

  1. Day 1-3 A small dressing is worn; minor tenderness is normal.
  2. Day 7-10 Sutures (if used) are removed.
  3. Week 2-4 The area continues to heal and flatten; a pink mark is normal before fading further.
  4. Month 3-6 Scar matures and fades significantly.

Risks & Complications

As with any procedure, individual risk depends on your health history and will be discussed fully during consultation.

  • !Visible scarring, particularly with excision
  • !Recurrence if the mole was only shaved rather than fully excised
  • !Infection
  • !Change in skin pigmentation at the site

Dr. Karan Ratna Pradhan's Approach

Dr. Pradhan's practice is built on the principle that plastic and reconstructive surgery should look natural, not "done." Every consultation starts with listening to what you want to change and why, followed by an honest discussion of what this procedure can and can't achieve for your specific anatomy, with techniques adapted case-by-case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the mole grow back?
A fully excised mole should not return; a shaved mole occasionally shows some regrowth, in which case full excision can be discussed.
Is a biopsy done automatically?
Any mole with features of clinical concern is routinely sent for pathology; purely cosmetic removals of clearly benign moles may not require this - discussed during consultation.
Will there be a scar?
Some mark or scar is expected, particularly with excision, though it typically fades considerably over months.
