Skin Lesions

Expert surgical care for skin growths

Skin cancer and other suspicious skin lesions are among the most common conditions in Australia. Timely removal by a skilled surgeon can prevent complications and reduce recurrence risk, while achieving the best cosmetic outcome.

So, what are skin lesion surgeries?

Dr Baxter offers surgical management ranging from simple excisions to advanced reconstruction. Small lesions may be removed easily with minimal scarring, while larger or delicate-area lesions may require skin flaps or grafts for functional and cosmetic preservation.

Why do people choose skin lesion surgery?

Suspicious or changing skin lesions—especially those that bleed, grow, or cause cosmetic concern—carry health risks. Surgery offers definitive diagnosis and removal, preventing potential progression and providing peace of mind.

What results can I expect?

Most patients experience safe lesion removal with minimal scarring and prompt recovery. Reconstruction techniques can preserve appearance and function, supporting both health and self-confidence.

What’s the recovery like?

Recovery usually involves minor wound care and returning to normal activities within a few days. More complex resections or reconstructive procedures may require slightly longer healing and follow-up.

What support do I get?

From accurate diagnosis to surgical planning and follow-up, you’ll receive comprehensive, individualised care — including biopsy review, reconstructive technique guidance, and scar management support.
