Mole Removal

Your personal introduction to the plastic surgeon

During the first consultation, the focus is on your personal introduction to the plastic surgeon. In an open and confidential atmosphere, you discuss your wishes and expectations regarding the mole removal. The surgeon listens carefully to your story and takes the time to thoroughly assess the mole.

Tailored information

The surgeon will provide you with comprehensive information about the treatment method most suitable for your situation. You will receive a realistic impression of the expected result, and the surgeon will explain how the procedure works. The entire treatment pathway will be discussed, including preparation, the procedure itself, aftercare and the recovery process.

The aim of mole removal

The aim of mole removal is to remove the mole completely while creating the most inconspicuous scar possible. The plastic surgeon takes into account the skin lines, tissue tension, suturing technique and the direction of the scar, so that the end result is as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

Advantages and disadvantages, risks and complications

During the consultation, the advantages and disadvantages of mole removal will also be discussed, as well as the possible risks and complications. The surgeon will be open and honest about the possible side effects and will advise you on how to minimise them.

Your questions come first

Of course, there will be ample opportunity during the consultation to ask all your questions about mole removal. The surgeon will answer these questions comprehensively and in clear language, so that you have a good understanding of what to expect.

An informed decision

We believe it is important that after the consultation you are able to make an informed decision about the mole removal. That is why we devote a great deal of attention to informing you about the options, risks and expectations. Your wishes and satisfaction with the result are our priority.

Consultation fees

A consultation fee of €100,- applies. These costs will be deducted from the final price of the treatment should you decide to have the mole removed at Blooming Plastische Chirurgie.

Anaesthesia and procedure duration

Mole removal is performed under local anaesthesia, so that you will not feel any pain during the procedure. The treatment takes an average of 30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the mole.

Preparation and marking

Before the procedure begins, the plastic surgeon carefully marks the mole. The skin lines and natural folds of the skin are always taken into account, so that the scar falls as inconspicuously as possible after healing.

The procedure

The mole is removed under local anaesthesia via an incision with a scalpel. After removing the mole, the wound is closed with fine suture material. In some cases, the surgeon applies a W- or Z-shaped closure to make the scar as irregular and inconspicuous as possible. The plastic surgeons at Blooming are trained in applying techniques that result in the most aesthetically pleasing outcome, always carefully considering the direction of the scar, tissue tension and suturing technique.

After the treatment

After mole removal, you can go home the same day. You are not permitted to drive yourself after the procedure. If necessary, the plastic surgeon will schedule a follow-up appointment for suture removal and inspection of the site. Our team will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions so that you are well prepared to go home.

Immediately after the treatment

After the procedure, you can go home the same day. Please ensure you have someone to accompany you for transport, as you are not permitted to drive yourself. Depending on the location of the mole, it is advisable to avoid sudden, unexpected movements and to refrain from exercise for one week.

Swelling and pain

After the procedure, the treated area may feel slightly painful and sensitive. This is a normal reaction and usually subsides within a few days. The wound may, despite the sutures, open if there is excessive movement; therefore, take sufficient rest in the first few days.

Scars

After mole removal, a scar will always form. Due to the care and expertise of our plastic surgeons, this scar is in most cases barely visible. In the first months, the scar may still appear slightly pink; as the skin heals, this will fade. The complete scar healing process begins approximately four to six weeks after the treatment and matures up to one year after the procedure. We advise you to protect the scar from the sun and to use Staudt scar cream to support the healing process.

Smoking and alcohol

To promote wound healing and reduce the risk of complications, we advise you not to smoke for six weeks before and six weeks after the treatment. We also recommend that you refrain from drinking alcohol from one week before to one week after the procedure.

Tailored aftercare

After the treatment, we guide you and offer tailored aftercare to ensure that you can fully enjoy the result of your treatment.

General risks

Mole removal is a safe procedure with a minimal risk of complications. Nevertheless, it is important to be aware of the possible risks. General risks include scarring, infection of the wound area and temporary bruising around the procedure site.

Specific complications

In exceptional cases, specific complications may occur, such as a less aesthetically pleasing scar or a wound that opens due to excessive movement. Our plastic surgeons take all possible precautions to minimise these risks. The plastic surgeon will discuss this with you in detail during the consultation.

Comprehensive information during the consultation

During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will discuss all risks and possible complications with you in detail. You will receive information about the likelihood of complications, how they can be prevented and how they can be treated should they occur.

Your safety comes first

At Blooming Plastische Chirurgie, your safety comes first. Our BIG-registered plastic surgeons take all possible precautions to minimise risks and prevent complications. Should a complication nevertheless occur, you can count on professional and adequate care.

Transparent pricing

At Blooming Plastische Chirurgie, we understand that cost is an important factor in your decision to have a mole removed. That is why we strive for transparency and offer the treatment at a fair price, where quality and care always come first.

Starting price and factors influencing the cost

At Blooming Plastische Chirurgie, the costs for removing one mole start from €600,-. This amount is a guideline and covers the basic costs of the treatment, including consultations, anaesthesia and aftercare procedures.

The final price of your treatment may vary depending on various factors, such as:

• The number of moles: Advantageous combined rates apply for removing multiple moles in a single treatment.

• The size and location: A larger or more complexly situated mole may make the treatment more extensive, thereby affecting the price.

• Additional treatments: If you combine mole removal with a scar correction or other treatment, the total cost will be adjusted accordingly.

Personal quotation

During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will discuss your wishes and expectations and draw up a personal treatment plan. Based on this treatment plan, you will receive a detailed quotation, so that you know exactly what to expect.
