Surgical Dermatology

Are you concerned about a new or changing skin growth? At Dermatology of Miami, our team provides expert surgical care for both benign (non-cancerous) growths and skin cancer removal, focusing on safe, precise treatment with excellent cosmetic outcomes. Board-certified dermatologists Dr. George Glinos and Dr. Chelsea Steele evaluate and treat a wide range of skin lesions, including cysts, lipomas, moles, and suspected skin cancers, using careful surgical techniques tailored to each case. When appropriate, we may recommend or refer patients for specialized Mohs surgery for certain skin cancers that require the highest level of precision and tissue preservation. Our goal is to ensure every patient receives the most effective treatment plan for both medical safety and optimal cosmetic results.

What Is Surgical Dermatology?

Surgical dermatology focuses on diagnosing, treating, and removing skin growths, skin cancers, cysts, and other skin conditions that require minor or advanced surgical intervention. Dermatologic surgery is performed using specialized techniques designed to effectively treat skin concerns while preserving healthy surrounding tissue and optimizing cosmetic healing.

At Dermatology of Miami, we perform in-office surgical procedures in a comfortable, professional setting with a focus on patient safety, precision, and long-term skin health.

Surgical Dermatology Services We Offer

Skin Cancer Removal

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States, but early treatment can lead to excellent outcomes. Our dermatologists diagnose and surgically treat common forms of skin cancer, including:

• Basal Cell Carcinoma
• Squamous Cell Carcinoma
• Melanoma

If you have noticed a changing mole, non-healing sore, or unusual skin lesion, prompt evaluation is important.

Skin Biopsies

A skin biopsy allows us to diagnose abnormal skin conditions, suspicious growths, chronic rashes, and potential skin cancers. Using minimally invasive techniques, we obtain a small tissue sample for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Cyst and Lipoma Removal

Benign skin growths such as cysts and lipomas can become uncomfortable, inflamed, or cosmetically bothersome. We provide safe, in-office removal for:

• Epidermoid cysts
• Sebaceous cysts
• Lipoma
• Other benign soft tissue growths

If you are looking for cyst removal in Miami Lakes, our team can help.

Wart and Skin Growth Removal

Persistent warts, skin tags, and other benign growths may require surgical removal when other treatments are ineffective.

We treat:

• Warts
• Skin tags
• Benign lesions
• Precancerous growths
• Abnormal skin growths

When Should You See a Surgical Dermatologist?

You may benefit from surgical dermatology if you notice:

• A sore that does not heal
• A bleeding or crusting skin lesion
• A painful or growing cyst
• A lump beneath the skin
• A suspicious spot after sun exposure
• A family history of skin cancer

If you have any concerns about your skin, early evaluation is always recommended.
