Skin Lesion & Scar Removal (Minor Cosmetic Surgery)

Minor cosmetic surgery at MUDr. Miroslav Dolejš's Plzeň clinic covers excision of moles and other skin lesions for cosmetic reasons (from 1,000 Kč), surgical revision of unsightly scars (from 2,500 Kč), and ingrown toenail correction (from 2,000 Kč) — all under local anaesthesia at the outpatient clinic. Having a plastic surgeon rather than a general practitioner perform these small procedures matters for the cosmetic outcome: precise excision planning and fine plastic-surgical suturing minimise the visibility of the resulting scar.

Small skin procedures are where plastic-surgical technique shows most clearly: the difference between a barely visible fine line and a wide, stretched scar usually comes down to incision orientation, tension management, and suture technique. **Skin lesion excision (from 1,000 Kč):** Removal of moles, fibromas, and other benign skin growths that bother the patient cosmetically or catch on clothing. The lesion is excised under local anaesthesia with the incision oriented along natural skin tension lines and closed with fine plastic-surgical sutures. Removed tissue can be sent for histological examination — standard good practice for any pigmented lesion. **Scar correction (from 2,500 Kč):** Wide, depressed, raised, or poorly oriented scars from previous injuries or operations can often be substantially improved by surgical revision: the old scar is excised and the wound re-closed in fine layers with optimal tension and orientation. The revised scar then matures over 6–12 months, typically into a much finer line. Realistic expectations are discussed honestly — revision improves scars; it cannot erase them. **Ingrown toenail surgery (from 2,000 Kč):** Plasty of the nail bed permanently corrects recurrent ingrown toenails by reshaping the nail fold under local anaesthesia — a definitive fix rather than repeated conservative trimming. **The visit:** All minor procedures are done at the outpatient clinic in the Slovany Polyclinic (Tuesdays, by appointment) under local anaesthesia; patients walk out immediately afterwards with a small dressing. Sutures are typically removed at 7–14 days depending on the site. **Why a plastic surgeon:** MUDr. Dolejš's daily work spans reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at Plzeň University Hospital — the same fine-suture technique applied to facelifts is applied to a 1 cm mole excision.
