Unwanted lumps, bumps, or scars can make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable, whether they’re from past injuries, skin conditions, or just something that doesn’t look or feel right.
Every time you see them, they can be a reminder of something you wish wasn’t there. Maybe you’ve tried to ignore it, but it still affects how you feel about your skin. It’s not just about appearance, it’s about confidence and feeling comfortable in your own body.
Our experienced surgeons at Kanata Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery offer a range of simple, safe, and effective procedures to remove lumps, bumps, and scars. Dr. James Lacey and Dr. Mehrad Jaberi are here to help you regain your confidence and enjoy smooth, healthy skin again.
Mole removal removes unwanted moles from the skin.
Moles can appear anywhere on the body, though they’re often found on the face, neck, arms, and back. They can vary in size, shape, and color, from small, flat, and dark to larger, raised, and flesh-toned.
The surgeons perform the procedure under local anesthesia to numb the area. They use one of two methods: shave excision, which removes the mole at skin level, or full excision, where the mole is cut out with a small margin of surrounding tissue. Stitches may be required, depending on the depth of the mole.
The mole removal procedure takes between 15 and 30 minutes.
Recovery is smooth for most people. You may have mild discomfort or redness around the area, but this subsides within a few days. A follow-up can be required to remove stitches (if any) after 1 to 2 weeks.
Cyst excision is a minor surgical procedure to remove a cyst, which is a closed sac under the skin that can be filled with fluid, pus, or other material.
Cysts commonly appear on the face, neck, scalp, back, and chest. They are round and smooth and can vary in size. Some cysts are painless, while others can become inflamed or tender, especially if infected.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Our surgeon makes a small incision over the cyst and removes it along with its sac to prevent recurrence. For larger or deeper cysts, they make a slightly bigger incision. Stitches are used to close the wound.
Cyst excision takes around 20 to 45 minutes.
Recovery is generally quick and easy. You may experience mild swelling or discomfort at the incision site, which resolves within a few days. Stitches, if used, are removed in 7 to 14 days.
Earlobe repair is a surgical procedure to fix torn, stretched, or split earlobes.
Earlobe tears or stretches often happen from wearing heavy earrings, trauma, or stretching from gauges. The damage can range from small tears to full splits, which affects the appearance and your ability to wear earrings.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Our surgeon makes a small incision to remove any damaged tissue, then carefully reshapes and sutures the earlobe back together. The technique varies based on the extent of damage, but the goal is to restore symmetry and create a natural-looking lobe.
The procedure generally takes around 30 to 60 minutes.
Recovery is simple. You may see some mild swelling or discomfort for a few days, but it will go away quickly. Stitches are usually removed after about a week. You’ll need to avoid wearing earrings for 6 to 8 weeks to let your earlobe heal completely. Once healed, you can re-pierce your ear if you’d like.
Skin tag removal removes small, soft growths of skin that appear in areas where the skin folds or rubs, such as the neck, armpits, or eyelids.
Skin tags appear on the neck, underarms, groin, and eyelids. They are small, soft, and flesh-colored, hanging off the skin by a thin stalk.
The removal is done in-office using one of few methods: cutting the skin tag off with sterile scissors, freezing it off with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy), or burning it off using electrical energy (cauterization). Our surgeons use local anesthesia for comfort, especially for larger skin tags.
The procedure takes around 10 to 20 minutes.
Recovery is minimal. You may have mild redness or irritation at the site for a few days, but this resolves quickly. Keep the area clean, and apply a small bandage if necessary. There is little to no downtime, and you can return to normal activities immediately.
Lipoma removal is a minor surgical procedure to excise a lipoma, which is a soft, fatty lump that forms under the skin. They are non-cancerous and painless.
Lipomas most commonly occur on the shoulders, back, neck, arms, or thighs.
Our surgeon performed the procedure under local anesthesia. They make a small incision over the lipoma and carefully remove the fatty tissue, including the capsule, to reduce the chance of recurrence. Once the lipoma is fully excised, the incision is stitched up.
Lipoma removal takes 30 to 60 minutes.
You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort around the incision site, which resolves within a few days. Stitches are removed in 7 to 14 days. You can return to normal activities shortly after the procedure.
Minor scar revision in Ottawa improves the appearance of small, superficial scars that result from injuries, surgeries, or other skin conditions.
Our surgeons perform these procedures under local anesthesia and involve techniques such as laser therapy, injections, or minor surgical excision to reduce scar visibility and blend it with the surrounding skin.
The choice of technique depends on factors such as the type, size, location, and skin type of the scar.
You can schedule a consultation with Dr. James Lacey or Dr. Mehrad Jaberi to determine the most appropriate treatment and the exact cost of the procedure.
