- Patients with lipomas or soft tissue lumps causing discomfort or concern
- Those with ingrown toenails that have not responded to conservative treatment

If you are unsure whether minor surgery is right for you, book a consultation and our doctors will assess your suitability and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
How Does Minor Surgery Work?
Each procedure begins with full consent and a pre-assessment to review your medical history, medications, and allergy status. The treatment area is cleaned and prepared in a sterile environment before local anaesthetic is precisely infiltrated to numb the site completely.
Our doctors then perform the excision or procedure using fine surgical instruments, closing the wound with sutures or an appropriate dressing as required. Histological analysis of removed tissue is available on request, providing a laboratory diagnosis for your peace of mind.
Minor Surgery Covers
- Skin lesion & mole removal
- Cyst & lipoma excision
- Skin tag removal
- Ingrown toenail treatment
- Haemorrhoid removal
- Excision biopsy & histology
Post-Treatment
What to Expect
During the Procedure
You will be fully conscious and comfortable under local anaesthetic. You may feel mild pressure but should experience no significant pain. Most procedures take between 15 and 60 minutes.
Our team will talk you through every step and check your comfort throughout.
After the Procedure
Mild soreness, swelling, or bruising is normal in the first 24 to 48 hours. Keep the wound clean and dry for at least 48 hours and avoid strenuous activity.
- Keep the wound dry for 48 hours
- Avoid heavy exercise for several days
- Take over-the-counter pain relief if needed
- Follow your doctor's specific aftercare instructions
Healing & Recovery
Sutures are typically removed 7 to 14 days after the procedure depending on the site. Full wound healing generally takes 4 to 6 weeks, during which a small scar may form and gradually fade.
Histology results, where requested, are usually available within 2 to 3 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our minor surgery service covers the removal of moles, sebaceous cysts, lipomas, skin tags, benign skin lesions, ingrown toenails, haemorrhoids, and other superficial lumps and bumps. All procedures are performed under local anaesthetic at our clinic. A consultation with our doctor will confirm whether your condition is suitable for in-clinic treatment.
Local anaesthetic is administered before every procedure, so you should feel no pain during the surgery itself. You may feel a brief sting from the anaesthetic injection and mild pressure during the procedure. Any post-operative soreness is typically mild and settles within a few days with simple pain relief.
Most minor surgical procedures take between 15 and 60 minutes from start to finish, including preparation and wound dressing. The actual removal is often completed in under 20 minutes. You will be able to leave the clinic shortly afterwards.
We will provide pre-procedure guidance at your consultation. Generally, you should avoid blood-thinning medications (if safe to do so), eat normally before attending, and wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. Inform your doctor of all medications and allergies.
Suture removal depends on the location and size of the wound. Facial sutures are typically removed at 5 to 7 days, while body sutures are usually removed at 10 to 14 days. Your doctor will confirm this at your procedure appointment and arrange a follow-up.
