This procedure is a quick surgical procedure performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. Depending onthe type of mole, they can be removed in the doctor’s office or at a clinic.
Removing a moletakes about 20 minutes and does not require hospitalization.
This procedure begins with the injection of lidocaine (marketed in many countries under the name Xylocaine) using a small syringe. This local anesthetic ensures that the procedure is painless. Next, an incision is made around the mole with a scalpel to facilitate removal of the lesion. Finally, the skin is closed with sutures.
The scar from a mole removal may fade after 6 to 12 months, but its visibility can vary from person to person.
