What Is Minor Surgery ?

Minor surgery is a light surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia, without the need for hospital admission. The goal of the procedure is to completely remove abnormal or benign tissue, for medical indications or aesthetic reasons.

Minor surgery is commonly performed on areas such as :

• Face
• Neck
• Scalp
• Arms and body
• Areas with subcutaneous lump

Indications for Minor Surgery

Minor surgery may be recommended for the following conditions :

1. Mole Removal (Nevus Removal)

Minor surgery is suitable for:

• Permanent removal of moles
• Moles that are frequently irritated or bleeding
• Moles that change in size, color, or shape
• Aesthetic concerns, especially on the face or visible body areas

A medical evaluation is always performed beforehand to ensure the mole is benign and safe to remove.

2. Removal of Benign Lumps (Lipoma, Cyst, etc.)

Minor surgery is also indicated for the removal of:

• Lipomas (benign fatty lumps beneath the skin)
• Epidermoid cysts
• Other benign skin or subcutaneous growths

Removal helps reduce discomfort, prevent further enlargement, and improve the appearance of the affected area
