Causes & medical background

Typical findings requiring surgery

Surgical interventions are common for:

  • Skin cancer precursors or diagnosed black/white skin cancer
  • Atypical moles for which a histological examination is necessary
  • Tumor recurrences or skin changes that are difficult to access
  • Inflammatory skin diseases requiring surgical treatment
  • Lipomas (benign fatty tumors)

  • Cysts (bursae, atheromas)

  • Benign skin appendages (e.g. fibromas)

The focus is always on safety, but also on the functional and cosmetic result for the patient.

Treatment

When is skin surgery necessary?

Not all skin lesions can simply be removed with a small incision. Some skin tumours – e.g. basal cell carcinomas or melanomas – grow in critical areas such as the nose, ear, eyelid or lips, where a precise, tissue-sparing and at the same time aesthetically optimized procedure is necessary.

What is possible?

We perform the following procedures in our practice:

Tumor surgery

Recovery after skin cancer surgery

Functional result & esthetic integrity

What a surgical procedure can do

The aim of every complex operation is a complete, safe procedure that is as gentle on the tissue as possible – taking functional and aesthetic aspects into account. Depending on the type and extent of the skin change, the result is usually visible immediately after the healing phase.

Thanks to precise incisions and specialist aftercare, the appearance of the skin can be harmoniously restored in many cases. Visible traces are reduced to a minimum – as far as medically possible.

Focus on your recovery

Aftercare & healing process

After more complex skin operations, structured aftercare is crucial for an optimal functional and aesthetic result. We follow you closely – with individually coordinated follow-up appointments and specialist wound assessment.

Please note:
The healing process may vary depending on the extent and type of surgery. Longer recovery periods and more intensive aftercare measures may be required for larger or more extensive operations.

You should be aware of this:

  • Physical rest for several days (no sport, no physically strenuous activities)
  • Avoidance of irritating care products in the operating area
  • No sauna, steam baths or exposure to intense heat in the first few weeks

If you have any questions or uncertainties, please do not hesitate to contact us.

What our patients say

Rated 5 out of 5

“Due to my experiences with another dermatologist, I initially went to this practice with mixed feelings. However, Dr. Wißmüller managed to allay my fears immediately. She gave me the feeling that my concerns were being taken seriously. I never had the “quick and dirty” impression that I often get from other doctors. She listened to me attentively and explained the various treatment options with their advantages and disadvantages in detail. All in all, a very pleasant appointment.”
