Aesthetic surgery is a field of medicine that does not only include big aesthetic procedures carried out under general anesthesia or local anesthetic under sedation, it also includes small procedures on the face and body which are carried out under local anesthetic.
Mostly those are procedures with which we remove various outgrowths on the skin. The most common are warts, moles and atheromas or skin tumors with a low maligni degree, which need to be removed entirely so they wouldn’t grow back. It is crucial that those procedures are carried out by a qualified doctor because even with these smaller procedures, aesthetically unacceptable scars and hyperpigmentations are often left over and are hard to remove afterwards.
If there is a skin alteration which is suspected to be malignant, it has to be removed entirely, and the final assessment of the nature of the skin formation is given by the pathologist after a microscopic analysis. In our clinic these procedures are carried out with a classic surgical approach or with radiofrequency surgery.
