Moles, warts, basal cell carcinomas (=white skin cancer), and melanomas are well-known skin tumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A precise analysis of the possibilities and wishes is the basis for a successful skin tumor surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Beauty Concepts are designed to help you keep track:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below, you'll learn more about the removal of skin tumors and possible alternatives or complementary procedures. You'll also find useful complementary treatments and surgeries...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will receive objective and honest information about all details regarding the effectiveness and duration of the possible planned operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With every operation, patients take certain risks: possible complications are discussed honestly and options for avoiding them are presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most common questions is about the cost of breast lift surgery. Beauty Concepts provides transparent information about a reasonable budget and the cost of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n

efficiency<\/h3>\n
In the case of smaller skin tumors, the entire lesion can be removed at once.<\/p>\n
If the skin change is larger, the skin tumor can be removed in two or more steps. Or a sample can be taken by removing part of it and the change can at least be reduced in size.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n

repetition of the treatment<\/h3>\n
Normally, a skin tumor that is not too large can be removed in one go.<\/p>\n
Each sample is sent in. If the findings make re-cutting necessary, a second (or third, ...) procedure may of course be useful or necessary.<\/p>\n
Skin tumors can of course recur in the same place or just next to it, which can also make further surgery necessary<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n

Laser<\/strong> \u2013 The laser works with heat and can therefore create scars just like a cut or removal with a cold scalpel or similar \u2013 but if you are unlucky, the scar region will be larger because, of course, the entire area of the skin change is treated. A major disadvantage is that the pathologist cannot make an exact assessment of the change!<\/li>\n

Should I have a skin tumor removal do it at all?<\/strong> \u2013 Sometimes it is the better decision not to do something.<\/p>\n
If the changes are clearly benign, they can be checked at regular intervals.<\/p>\n
However, if there is any doubt, a skin tumor should always be removed rather than allowed to grow.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n

Cutting direction and position?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Incision = scar. This applies to all operations. It is important to position the scars in the most inconspicuous places possible and, above all, to carefully analyze the direction with the least tension in order to allow the scar to heal as inconspicuously and narrowly as possible.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n

sun protection<\/strong><\/p>\n
In the first few weeks after the skin tumor removal, sun protection should be ensured (shade is the best sun protection). If this is not possible in the summer, it is certainly better to carry out the operation in the cooler season in the case of clearly benign skin tumors<\/p>\n
What should you have heard\/read before having a skin tumor removed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
The direction of the cut, suture material, suture technique, surgeon's experience, and much more determine the quality and inconspicuousness of the scar.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, a cut always means a scar. In most cases, this is less noticeable than the skin tumor itself - but this cannot always be guaranteed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n

Prejudices<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Invisible scars are always possible with good suturing technique\u2026<\/p>\n
The quality of the scar always depends on several factors. These include the cutting technique, suture material, suture technique, and much more.<\/p>\n
However, a large part is played by the individual development of the scar (predisposition), taking it easy (not sweating, not pulling on the scar in the first few weeks), scar care and massage, and much more.<\/p>\n
Scars can be very inconspicuous. A scar is (almost) never invisible. And the expected quality of the scar can only be predicted to a certain extent.<\/p>\n
When it comes to scars, everything can be done right \u2013 and the scar can still look terrible.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are always ways to improve a bad scar.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n
