What types of lumps and bumps can be removed?

We remove moles, cysts, lipomas, skin tags, and other benign growths using precise surgical and non-surgical methods.

Is the procedure painful?

Local anesthesia numbs the area. Most people feel a brief sting from the injection and pressure rather than pain.

Will there be a scar?

Any procedure that breaks the skin leaves a scar. Dr. Samas plans the incision to keep it as discreet as possible.

How long does the procedure take?

Most removals take less than 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated.

Do the lumps or spots come back?

If the underlying cause is genetic or skin-related, our team provides guidance to help prevent future growths.

Overview

What is Lump, Bump & Spot Removal?

Lump, Bump & Spot Removal is a minor surgical service designed to eliminate unwanted or concerning skin and soft tissue growths. These may include moles, skin tags, lipomas, cysts, and even certain forms of skin cancer. Whether removed for cosmetic reasons, irritation, or medical necessity, each procedure is performed with precision and attention to aesthetic outcomes.

Depending on the type and location of the growth, removal techniques may include shave excision, full-thickness excision, or enucleation. If a lesion appears atypical or suspicious, it can be sent to pathology for evaluation.

Most procedures are quick, performed under local anesthesia, and require little downtime. Same-day removal may be available during your consultation. Dr. Samas takes special care when working on cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face, neck, or hands to minimize visible scarring.

If you have a skin or soft tissue growth that bothers you, whether it's unsightly, uncomfortable, or changing in appearance, schedule a consultation to learn about your options for safe, effective removal.
