Moles are skin blemishes of varying sizes, shapes, and colors that can appear anywhere on the body. While it is natural and normal to have moles, with the majority of people possessing at least one, research suggests that 1-3% of all babies are born with one or more moles. Most moles are brown spots, and they can be flat, raised, or irregular in shape. Sometimes, moles are even referred to as "beauty marks" when they appear on the cheek or chin, enhancing the facial features of some women.

However, not every mole is considered attractive. A dark, prominent spot on the face can negatively impact one's self-confidence and overall appearance. This is why many people choose to remove unwanted moles from their bodies. Mole removal is a straightforward process, and there are several methods available, including surgical excision, radiofrequency ablation, and laser ablation. Each technique has its own indications, and the choice depends on factors such as the mole's size, location, and the desired outcome. Surgical excision, especially for facial moles, requires a skilled plastic surgeon with experience to ensure minimal scarring.

Expert Mole Removal at Cutis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Hospital

At Cutis Hospital, we offer comprehensive plastic and cosmetic surgical solutions, including mole removal. Our expert plastic surgeon, Dr. Chintan Patel, has extensive experience in plastic surgery in Ahmedabad and has successfully performed numerous mole removal procedures.

Let’s take a closer look at a specific case of mole removal surgery conducted by Dr. Chintan Patel. The patient had a prominent mole located on her left cheek in the nasolabial region—a highly visible part of the face. She sought mole removal surgery with minimal scarring, prioritizing the best possible aesthetic results.

In the pre-operative phase, an ellipse was marked around the mole, with the direction of the incision aligned parallel to the natural nasolabial crease. This approach helps blend the final scar with the skin’s natural folds, making it less noticeable. The mole was excised in an elliptical fashion under local anesthesia, and the surgical margins were meticulously sutured in two layers using very fine threads under magnification. The stitches were removed earlier than usual to further minimize scar visibility. Proper aftercare and follow-up ensured that the final result was a smooth, scar-free appearance.

Benefits of Mole Removal

Removing unwanted moles can significantly improve a patient’s appearance, self-esteem, and self-confidence. Beyond cosmetic benefits, mole removal becomes especially important when there is a risk of the mole being precancerous or at the early stage of cancer formation. Timely removal of such moles can prevent serious health issues and may even save a patient’s life.
