Expectations
Lesion removal is typically an in-office, minor surgical procedure in which a lesion or growth is removed from the body. This can be for several reasons including its unsightly appearance or location or due to its potentially harmful nature. The goal of lesion removal is to completely remove the lesion to prevent its return.
How is Lesion Removal Performed?
Step 1: Consultation
To determine if you’re a candidate for lesion removal in Fort Worth, TX, Dr. Johnson discusses your desired results. She also reviews your medical history, completes a physical exam, and may order blood tests or other diagnostic testing. She then customizes a lesion removal procedure to match your aesthetic goals. To prepare for the procedure, you may need to arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
Step 2: Procedure
During the lesion removal, you receive local anesthesia to the treatment area. Dr. Johnson uses a scalpel to precisely remove the lesion from your body. She then ensures your best aesthetic result prior to closing the defect.
Step 3: Recovery
After the procedure, follow Dr. Johnson’s detailed aftercare instructions. Get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activity until given permission to return to regular activities. You might be encouraged to wear a protective bandage over the incision. You may notice temporary redness, tenderness, or swelling at the treatment sites. Avoid placing pressure over the treated area during the healing process.
Lesion Removal FAQs
Yes! Lesion removal can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as facelifts, neck lifts, eyelid lifts, or other cosmetic procedures for more comprehensive results. Dr. Johnson can discuss whether combining procedures is appropriate for your specific goals and circumstances.
The amount of downtime following lesion removal can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the areas treated. Generally, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort immediately after the procedure, with recovery typically taking a few days.
The goal of lesion removal is to completely remove the lesion and prevent its return; however, some lesions are prone to recurrence.
Lesion removal is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Johnson. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications that should be discussed beforehand.

Dr. Emily Johnson and aesthetician Rachel are both artists in their crafts!
Dr. Johnson takes the time to truly listen to your concerns and gives honest, clear recommendations on what the best solutions are for you, rather than what would cost the most.
I’ve been getting facials for the past 25 years, and Rachel is by far the most talented aesthetician. She gave problem-specific recommendations for (medical grade) skin care products, but with ZERO high-pressure sales.
