Surgical procedures can be performed to address medical and aesthetic disorders of the skin, hair, nails, and surrounding tissues. The purpose of surgery is to restore or enhance function and appearance. Some surgical interventions are minimally invasive, requiring just local or regional anesthetic and results in less time for recuperation. While numerous skin lesions such as moles, warts, skin tags, and other growths are not hazardous but undesirable, surgical intervention may be used to treat them. Additionally, surgical intervention may be required if topical creams, heat, laser, and light therapy do not work. Dr. Maranda can provide you with an accurate diagnosis in clinic and discuss your treatment choices.
