Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon

MBBS, MS - General Surgery

Personalised care, natural-looking results

Who Is a Good Candidate

  • ✓Neurofibromas causing discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic concern
  • ✓Diagnosis confirmed clinically (and by biopsy where appropriate)
  • ✓Good general health

Procedure Details

Performed under local anesthesia for most individual lesions (general anesthesia may be used for larger or multiple lesions in one session). The lesion is surgically excised and the skin closed with fine sutures; tissue may be sent for pathological confirmation. Duration depends on size and number, typically 20-60 minutes per lesion.

Recovery Timeline

  1. Day 1-7 A dressing covers the site; mild tenderness is normal.
  2. Day 7-14 Sutures are removed.
  3. Month 1-3 Scar matures and continues to fade.

Risks & Complications

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

  • !Visible scarring at the excision site
  • !Recurrence in some cases, depending on the underlying condition
  • !Infection or delayed healing
  • !Numbness if the lesion is near a sensory nerve

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

Can all neurofibromas be removed in one session?
For patients with multiple lesions (e.g. in neurofibromatosis), removal is often staged over several sessions rather than all at once.
Will it grow back?
Individual excised lesions do not typically regrow, though new lesions can develop elsewhere over time depending on the underlying condition.
Is a biopsy needed?
Tissue is often sent for pathology to confirm the diagnosis, particularly for a first or atypical-looking lesion.
