At our Skin Surgery Clinic Belfast, specialist skin surgery procedures are performed with precision and care. From benign moles to complex skin lesion excisions, each skin surgery procedure is carried out with meticulous surgical technique, ensuring safe skin surgery outcomes with excellent cosmetic and functional results.
Every excision is treated as an opportunity for an optimal outcome. At our Skin Surgery Clinic Belfast, Consultant Plastic Surgeon Kevin McGarry applies advanced surgical expertise to ensure complete lesion removal, minimal scarring, and careful histological assessment where appropriate. Each procedure is performed with precision, focusing on both medical safety and cosmetic excellence.
Expert skin surgery for benign or suspicious moles is performed under local anaesthetic with precise excision and histological analysis to ensure complete and safe removal.
Skin surgery for sebaceous and epidermal cysts involves complete removal of the cyst wall to prevent recurrence and achieve a clean cosmetic result.
Lipomas are treated with minor skin surgery techniques ensuring complete removal while minimising visible scarring and preserving natural skin contour.
Skin surgery for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma requires careful oncological excision with reconstruction for optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes.
Advanced skin surgery techniques are used to improve scars through revision procedures that reduce visibility and improve alignment with natural skin lines.
Minor skin surgery is used to remove benign lesions such as skin tags, dermatofibromas and warts with safe, precise and cosmetically refined outcomes.
Many skin lesions can be removed by standard surgical techniques, but specialist skin surgery focuses on more than excision alone. Careful planning of incision placement within natural skin tension lines, layered closure techniques, and reconstructive principles help achieve minimal scarring and optimal cosmetic outcomes.
Consultant Plastic Surgeon Kevin McGarry applies advanced reconstructive surgery principles to all skin surgery procedures, ensuring that both the completeness of removal and the final appearance of the scar are carefully considered.
Every skin surgery procedure includes structured post-operative wound care guidance and follow-up review to support safe healing and long-term results.
Clinical evaluation of the lesion and surrounding tissue is performed to determine the safest and most effective surgical approach for skin surgery.
Most skin surgery procedures are performed under local anaesthetic as a day case, with sedation or general anaesthetic available when required.
The lesion is removed with appropriate margins and closed in layers using reconstructive skin surgery techniques to minimise visible scarring.
Where appropriate, tissue is sent for histological analysis and follow-up appointments are arranged to monitor healing and results.
Skin surgery procedures are performed at the Fitzwilliam Clinic, Belfast, in a fully equipped operating theatre under appropriate anaesthetic. Most skin surgery cases are treated as day procedures with same-day discharge.
After skin surgery, most patients resume normal daily activities within 24–48 hours. Sutures or wound dressings are typically reviewed and removed within 7–14 days depending on the procedure site, with tailored scar care guidance provided.
Both GP referrals and self-referrals are accepted for skin surgery consultation. Urgent or suspicious skin lesions can usually be assessed promptly following initial clinical review. Patients are advised to contact the clinic for guidance prior to booking.
A consultation with Consultant Plastic Surgeon Kevin McGarry will help determine exactly what your skin lesion is, whether treatment is required, and the most appropriate surgical approach. Each assessment is private, unhurried, and evidence-based, ensuring clear guidance and safe decision-making.
