Whether it is a beauty mark that you don't find so beautiful anymore, or a mole or other imperfection, Dr. Nachbar will be happy to discuss your options for removing it.
Our Approach
While most lesion excisions will involve removal and closure, there are many details that should be considered. A simple punch-biopsy will produce some tissue for the pathologist to look at, but is generally done without planning (or even intending) the closure. Smaller lesions can be excised in a simpler fashion than larger lesions, which may require Z-Plasty or other flap closure to be considered for the best possible result.
Once the procedure is planned, most excisions (especially simpler ones) can be performed in the office under local anesthesia without much interruption in your schedule. Most often, we will recommend removable sutures to give the best result, but there are many considerations that affect this choice, including patient convenience.
Scottsdale Plastic Surgery Reviews
Great experience! I got a tattoo excision done i felt no pain during the procedure. It was very little pain the following day, nothing ibuprofen cant help with. It has been 48 hours and i feel no pain. Dr. Nachbar and his team were very professional and friendly. Thanks again!
Tattoo Excision - Everything was well explained , the process was hassle free and communication was top notch.
Tattoo Excision - As an international client interested in tattoo excision I felt supported from the moment I made initial contact with Dr.Nachbar's office. His receptionist Daisy walked me through every step of the process and even scheduled me a video call with Dr.Nachbar to discuss the surgery. I can feel confident that my now booked surgery will go smoothly as I make the trek across countries. It's rare to come across such well thought out service and care. Thanks!
Tattoo Excision - Everything was handled respectfully and professionally. They reached out with the best service and always kept me informed and up to date!
Dr Nachbar and his team are amazing! I have had great results from him with tattoo excision. Will be recommending people for sure!

More Information
Often, patients will come in with something that has been bothering them, or that they are worried about. If you want to know what "that thing" is without having it removed, a dermatologist is probably your best resource. They spend all day long, every day, looking at skin, and can often tell you what it is. However, if you have decided that you don't care what it is, you want it GONE, or if the dermatologist cannot tell what it is without a biopsy (and especially if she wants to do a punch biopsy, which is very easy to do but leaves a round hole in your skin), a plastic surgeon may be your best bet to get the best scar possible from the excision.

About UsLesion Removal FAQs
Will I have scarring after lesion removal?
Our office utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to minimize scarring. But, the probability of scarring does depend on the measure and type of lesion. We will always strive to use a technique that reduces the chances of scarring. We will also give you home-based care instructions to further reduce the possibility of scars.
How do I tend to my skin after lesion extraction?
Once you've had a mole, skin tag, or wart eradicated, our practice will provide you with specific directions on how to tend to your skin. You should avoid sunlight radiation, as ultraviolet rays may inflame your skin after your lesion removal, possibly hinder rejuvenation, and produce continuing damage. We always encourage you to employ sunscreen and cover-up when spending time outside to help keep your skin healthy.
Is skin lesion removal permanent?
Skin lesion removal is permanent. However, it is important for us to note that skin lesions, like skin tags or warts, might appear on other parts of your body.
