Introduction
Cysts and moles are among the most common skin concerns that patients bring to A New You Plastic Surgery in Chicago. While many are harmless, some can become irritated, infected, or cosmetically distracting. Others may raise concerns for potential malignancy, especially if they grow, change color, or bleed.
Dr. Rajendra Shah specializes in the accurate evaluation and safe removal of skin lesions with minimal scarring. Whether you’re dealing with a bothersome bump or an unsightly mole, our team can provide clarity and a solution.
Cyst and mole treatment typically involves an in-office procedure to remove the lesion. Cysts—fluid-filled sacs beneath the skin—can be excised or drained depending on their type and recurrence. Moles are typically shaved or surgically excised based on size, depth, and location. Lipomas, or fatty tumors, are also removed through small incisions. All excised tissue may be sent for pathology if there’s any concern.
If you have a cyst, mole, or skin growth that’s raised, changing, painful, or simply causing cosmetic frustration, you may be a candidate. Those with a personal or family history of skin cancer should also be vigilant and proactive with removal and evaluation.
During your consultation, Dr. Rajendra Shah will assess the lesion and recommend either treatment or ongoing observation based on what’s best for your health and goals.
Getting a cyst or mole treated can do more than just improve your appearance—it can relieve discomfort, prevent infection, and give you peace of mind. Early removal of a lesion with unusual characteristics may also help prevent more serious skin conditions. Treatments are quick, usually performed in-office with local anesthesia, and result in little downtime. And with our refined surgical techniques, most patients are pleasantly surprised by how discreet their results look.
Your first step is to schedule a consultation at A New You Plastic Surgery in Chicago. During this appointment, Dr. Rajendra Shah will carefully examine the lesion, review your medical history, and determine whether removal or biopsy is needed. If treatment is recommended, a customized plan will be created, and you’ll receive detailed information about what to expect, including downtime and aftercare.
Most procedures are performed right in the office under local anesthesia. For cysts, the area is numbed, and the entire sac is removed to prevent recurrence. Moles may be removed via the shave technique or full excision, depending on depth. Afterward, the area is closed with fine sutures to promote clean healing. You’ll receive aftercare instructions and a follow-up appointment to check healing. If a pathology report is needed, it typically takes about a week.
As a plastic surgeon, my goal is to improve the quality of my patients’ lives. I believe every person deserves to feel confident in their appearance, and for many, facial rejuvenation is an empowering step toward that goal. Whether restoring definition after aging changes or enhancing natural harmony, this journey is as emotional as it is physical.
The cost of cyst and mole treatment in Chicago generally ranges from $250 to $1,000+, depending on the lesion type, complexity, and whether pathology testing is involved. Insurance may cover medically necessary removals, such as those involving pain, irritation, or suspicion of malignancy.
Pricing will be discussed in full during your consultation, and flexible payment plans are available.
