Surgical Dermatology
When surgery is necessary to treat a skin condition, you deserve to feel informed, supported, and confident in your care. At Westside Dermatology in Seattle, our approach to dermatologic surgery is conservative yet highly effective—we focus on achieving the best possible medical and cosmetic outcomes while minimizing discomfort, risk of recurrence, and scarring.
Whether you’re dealing with a benign growth, an unwanted mole, or a confirmed skin cancer diagnosis, our board-certified dermatologists will walk you through the treatment process step by step. We take the time to answer all your questions, explain your options clearly, and guide you in making decisions that align with your needs and goals.
Our surgical services address a wide range of concerns. We perform excisional surgery to safely remove skin cancers, moles, cysts, and lipomas, always with an eye toward precision and optimal healing. We also offer cosmetic mole removal for patients who wish to eliminate moles for aesthetic reasons, and we do so with excellent cosmetic results. For those dealing with the aftermath of past injuries or procedures, we provide scar revision treatments, including surgical techniques, laser therapy, and targeted injections to improve the appearance of scars over time.
At Westside Dermatology, you can trust that your skin is in skilled, compassionate hands. From diagnosis to recovery, we’re here to make sure you feel cared for, respected, and well-informed—every step of the way.
