Surgical Dermatology
We pride ourselves in providing exceptional care and treatment to every patient requiring skin surgery.
Whether it is for the removal of skin cancers, or harmless lumps or bumps on the face, body, scalp or nail. We perform a high volume of skin surgery procedures including mole removal, cyst removal, skin tag removal, age spot removal, skin biopsies and excisions. We are able to offer same-day removal service for most lesions at our on-site surgical theatre. Most procedures can be performed with minimal discomfort using local anaesthesia and you can be assured of expert aftercare for wound management and scar minimisation.
Throughout her dermatology career, Dr Ho has developed a particular interest and expertise in performing biopsies, excising suspicious lesions and removing troublesome skin lumps and bumps. Having a deep understanding of the skin, she is dedicated to minimising and hiding scars and maximising the aesthetic appearance of any surgery she undertakes.
During your consultation, we will discuss your diagnosis and treatment options and if possible, offer alternatives to surgery such as laser or other less invasive treatments. With visual aids of similar procedures that have been done, we can give you a clear idea of what to expect and what can be achieved. Our ethos is always to deliver the highest standards of clinical care to all our patients. We take great care to minimise our infection rates and to reduce the risk of any surgical complication.
Pre-operative consultation:
You will have ample opportunity to discuss your surgery and its potential benefits and risks with your dermatologist.
During the surgery:
Your care and well being is of utmost concern to us during the surgery. We will ensure adequate numbing to make sure you are comfortable at all times. Your specialist dermatologist will perform all operations in our day surgery equipped to the highest standards.
Post-operative care:
After your surgery, we will counsel you on how to look after your wound to minimise the risk of bleeding and infection. Patients with complex or large wounds will be monitored closely. Your dermatologist will follow you up after an appropriate period of time to ensure optimal healing. We can also discuss laser treatment of post surgical scars to further minimise and improve the scar’s appearance.
