What is birthmark removal?

An aesthetic correction involving the removal of a birthmark on the face or other areas of the body is a minor procedure performed under local anaesthesia.

The procedure is as follows:

• Assessment of the nevus in terms of colour, size and shape
• Drawing a small oval around the birthmark/nevus
• Disinfection and local anaesthesia
• Removal of the nevus and closure with sutures
• After 1 week, the sutures on the face are removed. For the rest of the body, such as the back, leg, arm and abdomen, the sutures are removed after 2 weeks

Who is eligible for birthmark removal?

In principle, anyone may be eligible for the removal of a nevus.

Dr Esther Mesters is cautious about performing aesthetic removal of a nevus in the décolletage area, as this can often result in wide scars.

Scarring:

Initially, the scar is red for the first 3 months, after which it fades after 3 months.
