I am wondering why it seems that plastic surgeons do not use the method of radio surgery for mole removal? Or maybe some do? I understand there is still a sample for biopsy after removal this way, so that could not be the reason. I recently had 2 removed by excision but found out about radio surgery after the fact. I have more I will want removed in the future and if there is some reason not to use this method I would like to know. Thanks
Great question. As a general rule, surgeons will use a technology if there is an advantage. This advantage can be in outcomes, speed, complications or it can be in marketing. The bottom line on why radio-frequency surgery is not used is that there is no significant advantage to its use. This applies to any technology and should be one of the questions that you ask your surgeon.
I have a bunch of moles on my back that I would Like to have removed. A couple of them are raised and a bunch of them are flat. I spend a lot of time out side in the sun without a shirt on. My goal is to have them removed with little to no scaring and for the spot to have the same skin tone as the rest of my skin.
Unfortunately, you are a prime candidate for skin cancer. Your first goal should be to determine that none of these are suspicious and the best person to evaluate this is a Board-certified Dermatologist.
