Dermatologic Procedures

Dermatologic procedures are surgical procedures that deal with various skin conditions. These skin conditions can no longer be cured with alternative treatments. Baucom & Mina Derm Surgery, LLC, specializes in dermatologic procedures in Atlanta, offering a variety of procedure options.

Advanced Reconstruction

Skin cancer often requires the removal of affected skin tissues. This can leave a defect in the skin. Advanced reconstruction is a dermatologic procedure that helps restore the original aesthetic appearance of the skin after the removal surgery. It is especially ideal for challenging cases.

Lipomas

Lipomas are lumps of fat between the skin and the muscles. They usually grow in the neck, back, shoulders, arms, legs, and abdomen. They might not be cancerous, but they can cause pain and discomfort. Most patients with lipomas are 40 – 60 years old. Surgical removal is the most common dermatologic procedure for lipomas.

Melanoma Excision

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer developed by specific cells known as melanocytes. The best treatment for this condition is melanoma excision. It completely removes the melanoma, thus preventing the cancer cells from spreading.

Mohs

Mohs surgery was first developed by Dr. Frederic Mohs. It is highly effective in removing skin cancer. It is known to completely remove every cancer cell in the skin, making it a highly recommended dermatologic procedure all over the world.

Slow Mohs and Staged Excisions

This dermatologic procedure is an advanced type of Mohs surgery that deals with cancerous lesions like melanomas, lentigo maligna, and dysplastic moles.

When to Consider Dermatologic Procedures

Patients who want to permanently treat their skin issues can consider dermatologic procedures. Candidates are in good overall health with no post-surgery healing issues. Patients who are willing to go through the entire surgical plan are excellent candidates. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding might need to schedule their surgery in a later period.

Your Consultation

Your consultation will be handled by either Dr. Baucom or Dr. Mina. They will listen to your dermatologic concerns and conduct a thorough examination in the affected area. They will also evaluate your medical history. They will assess the results of the examination and recommend the most suitable dermatologic procedure.

Next, a personalized surgical plan will be developed. They will discuss the entire plan with you, from the preparation stage up to the recovery period. You should ask questions if you have any doubts regarding the surgical plan so you can make a sound decision. You will be given instructions to prepare for the surgery.

What to Expect During Recovery

The recovery period varies depending on the dermatologic procedure. Some procedures may require little to no recovery, while others require weeks of recovery. It is important for the patient to completely follow the instructions given for a smooth recovery process.

How Much Do Dermatologic Procedures Cost?

The price will depend on the type of dermatologic procedure. The condition of the affected area and the surgical plan will also impact the overall cost of the chosen procedure. Patients will be advised to contact their healthcare provider to determine if the surgery will be covered by their insurance.
