Considering mole removal?
An **elliptical incision** is a surgical technique commonly used to remove certain moles and other skin lesions. The area is carefully excised in an ellipse-shaped incision, allowing the wound to be closed neatly with sutures.
Depending on the lesion, the removed tissue may be sent for **pathological examination** to help determine what it is.
Every mole is different, and the appropriate removal method depends on factors such as its size, location, appearance, and clinical assessment.
📍 If you have a mole that has changed in size, shape, colour, or appearance, or one that bleeds or causes persistent irritation, speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
