Dermatological surgery

This is a general term for surgery and other physical interventions upon the skin. In some respects it can encompass all of the other treatments performed by Cosmetic Physicians plus direct scalpel surgery. In this context it is used for the latter.

Scalpel surgery for cosmetic purposes includes a great many procedures. Removal of skin blemishes is often done best by scalpel surgery.When done with special attention to the ultimate appearance (cosmesis) a nice result can often be obtained. It is important that blemishes that are removed be tested at the laboratory to make sure they are safe.

Sometimes it is very obvious that a blemish is safe but often even your doctor cannot be certain and then the lab test will be done.
