What Is a Facial Lesion Excision?
There are many things that can mar the appearance of the face over the course of a life. Skin cancer, the most common cancer in the world, can cause growths or lesions that need to be removed, and skin tags, moles, cysts, warts, and other growths can develop due to sun exposure, age, genetics, or injury. At The Piazza Center in Austin, Texas, plastic surgeon Dr. Rocco Piazza carefully removes these growths in-office, helping return each face to a smoother, more natural-looking state.

Results
Your Facial Lesion Excision Results
As the incision heals, swelling and bruising subside, revealing smooth, unblemished skin free of the mole, cyst, skin tag, or other growth that prompted treatment. Because Dr. Piazza preserves as much healthy surrounding tissue as possible during removal, resulting scars are typically minimal.
Closely following Dr. Piazza’s aftercare instructions — including avoiding strenuous activity and sun exposure until cleared — helps the incision heal cleanly and supports the best possible long-term appearance.
Anesthesia
A Comfortable, In-Office Experience
Facial lesion excisions are performed in-office at The Piazza Center under local anesthesia, numbing only the treatment area. This allows Dr. Piazza to carefully remove the lesion while you remain comfortable and alert, without the added recovery time associated with general anesthesia.
