Safe, effective removal of common skin lesions at Belfast Private GP.
Minor skin surgery involves the assessment and removal of common skin lesions using local anaesthetic. At Belfast Private GP, all procedures are carried out by experienced GPs with specialist interest and skill in dermatology and minor surgery.
Our minor skin surgery clinic is led by Dr Bob Magee, highly qualified with specialised training. He completed core surgical training and holds MRCS RCSI from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, alongside specialist dermoscopy training through Cardiff University and membership of the International Dermoscopy Society and the Primary Care Dermatology Society. This means your assessment and treatment is delivered by a GP whose surgical and dermatological expertise goes well beyond the standard.
Following an initial consultation, your GP will assess the lesion and advise on the most appropriate treatment. Where it is safe to proceed, the procedure can often be carried out during the same appointment. Common treatments include removal of skin tags, cysts, moles, lipomas, and seborrhoeic keratoses.
All procedures are performed under local anaesthetic, and follow-up care is included.
Choosing private minor skin surgery offers fast access to assessment and treatment in a safe clinical setting. Benefits include:
Where clinically indicated, histopathology can be arranged to provide a definitive diagnosis.
