Skin Lesions
The skin tells our story — its tone, texture, and resilience often reflecting both time and life’s small events. When a lesion, mole, or growth begins to change, or when skin cancer is diagnosed, reconstructive skin surgery offers both safety and restoration — protecting health while preserving comfort and natural appearance.
Conditions Treated
I manage a wide range of skin lesions, from common benign growths to more complex or cancerous conditions. This includes skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, as well as moles that have changed in size, colour, or shape, or are removed for comfort or cosmetic reasons. I also treat benign skin tumours—including cysts, lipomas, and dermatofibromas—and recurrent or inflamed lesions such as sebaceous cysts or painful nodules.
My approach combines oncological precision with aesthetic sensitivity. Whether I am removing a small mole or reconstructing an area after skin cancer excision, every procedure is guided by the same philosophy: to restore form and harmony with minimal scarring and the most natural result.

Treatment Approach
Most procedures are performed under local anaesthetic for comfort and convenience. The technique and method of reconstruction depend on the size, location, and nature of the lesion. In many cases, a simple excision is sufficient — the lesion is carefully removed and the skin closed with fine sutures to achieve the most discreet result. For larger or more complex areas, reconstruction using a local flap or skin graft may be required to restore contour and ensure a natural result.
Final Results
As healing progresses, the skin gradually regains its smoothness and tone. Scars settle into fine lines that blend naturally with surrounding skin, allowing both function and appearance to be restored. For many, it brings quiet reassurance — the comfort of health and the confidence of feeling oneself again.
Reconstructive skin surgery is not only about removal — it’s about renewal. My goal is to treat with precision and restore with artistry, achieving results that feel natural, balanced, and beautifully unremarkable.
FAQs

1. Is this done under local anaesthetic?
Yes — most procedures are comfortably performed under local anaesthetic, allowing you to return home the same day.
-
2. Will there be a scar?
All surgery leaves a mark, but meticulous closure and post-surgical scar care help achieve the most discreet and refined result possible.
-
3. What if it’s skin cancer?
If your results confirm a skin cancer, I will guide you through the next steps with care and clarity. In some cases, further treatment — such as a re-excision — may be needed to ensure complete removal. If appropriate, your case will also be discussed within a multidisciplinary team to ensure you receive the most comprehensive and tailored care.
-
4. Can I drive on the day of surgery?
For your safety, we advise that you arrange for someone to drive you home or take a taxi after your procedure — even if performed under local anaesthetic. If surgery involves your hand, arm, or leg, you should avoid driving until full sensation and movement have returned.
-
5. Can multiple moles or cysts be removed at once?
Yes, where safe and appropriate, several lesions can be treated in the same session for convenience.
