Lipoma Removal – 6 Months Post-Op

A lipoma is a benign growth made up of fatty tissue that develops beneath the skin. Although usually harmless, it can be removed if it causes discomfort, increases in size or is a cosmetic concern.

This photo shows the result six months after surgical removal. The incision has healed, and the scar has had time to mature.

Scar healing is a gradual process. Its appearance can continue to change over several months as the tissue remodels.

Earlobe Repair: 2 Months After Surgery

This is the result two months after earlobe repair using a Z-plasty technique.

Z-plasty helps redistribute tension around the scar and reduces the risk of scar contracture. This is particularly important for maintaining the natural curve and contour of the earlobe, helping to prevent a dent from forming as the scar heals.

Some redness is still visible at this stage, but it should continue to fade over the coming months.

Once healing is complete and the tissue has been assessed, she can consider having her ear re-pierced.

Seborrhoeic Keratosis: Different Ways to Remove It

Seborrhoeic keratoses are common, benign skin growths that can be removed using different techniques, depending on their size, thickness, location and clinical appearance.

The most commonly used methods include:

☑️Shave excision: The raised lesion is carefully removed at skin level using a surgical blade.
☑️Curettage: The lesion is gently scraped away using a specialised surgical instrument.
☑️Cryotherapy: Liquid nitrogen freezes the lesion, causing the treated tissue to gradually break down.
☑️Excision: The lesion is surgically cut out, usually when a deeper sample or complete removal is required.

The choice of technique depends on individual assessment. If the diagnosis is uncertain or the lesion has suspicious features, histological examination is important.

Why Is Scar Formation Different in Every Patient?

Scar formation depends on several factors, including genetics, skin type, age, wound location, surgical technique and individual healing responses.

Some scars become almost invisible, while others may remain raised, red or more noticeable.

Good surgical technique and proper wound care can help achieve a better cosmetic result, but the final appearance of a scar is never entirely predictable.

Seborrhoeic keratoses on the upper eyelid — can they be removed?

Seborrhoeic keratoses are common, benign skin growths. However, when they develop on the eyelids, they can become noticeable, catch on clothing or cause irritation.

This patient had several lesions on her upper eyelid, which were treated with shave excision.

The procedure removes the raised part of the lesion while carefully preserving the surrounding skin. As you can see in the after photos, the area has healed very well, with minimal scarring.

Eyelid procedures require particular care because the skin is so delicate. Proper assessment and choosing the right removal technique are essential.

A skin cancer diagnosis isn’t a death sentence.

Hearing the words skin cancer can be frightening. However, many common types, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), are highly treatable, particularly when diagnosed early.

BCC rarely spreads to other parts of the body, while SCC has a higher risk of spreading, depending on its characteristics. Both can cause significant damage if left untreated.

That’s why early assessment, accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are so important.

What were these raised lesions in the armpit?

This patient had several pedunculated lesions in the axilla (armpit) — raised lesions attached to the skin by a narrow base.

On assessment, they were identified as seborrhoeic keratoses, which are common benign skin lesions.

Because raised lesions in the armpit can catch on clothing and become irritated, removal may be considered when appropriate.
