"Skin tag, mole removal, and earlobe repair" refers to a set of cosmetic procedures where a healthcare professional removes small, noncancerous skin growths called "skin tags" or "moles" from the body, and also repairs any tears or damage to the earlobe, often caused by heavy earrings or injuries, by surgically reshaping the tissue and closing the area with sutures; essentially, it encompasses the removal of unwanted skin growths and the restoration of the earlobe's appearance and shape.
Key points about each procedure
Skin tag removal
A common procedure where small, usually flesh-colored growths that protrude from the skin are removed using methods like freezing (cryotherapy), surgical excision, or cauterization.
Mole removal
Removal of pigmented skin lesions (moles) which can be benign or sometimes cancerous, often done through surgical excision, laser therapy, or cryotherapy, depending on the size and characteristics of the mole.
Earlobe repair (also called lobuloplasty)
A surgical procedure to repair a torn or stretched earlobe, usually involving trimming excess tissue and closing the tear with sutures to restore the earlobe's original shape.
