Skin surgery deals with skin conditions that require removal, such as sebaceous cysts, viruses that have not been cured with local treatment, or skin tumors that are either benign or malignant.
Cosmetic dermatological surgeries fall within the scope of skin surgery, and includes the modification of wide earring openings in the ear, removal of scars, removal of some moles, and even liposuction in order to remove unwanted fat from the body.
Usually these types of procedures are performed in specialized clinics and under local anesthesia.
