Facial Skin Lesion Removal
Mole, Cyst & Skin Lesion
Removal in Cheshire
Expert surgical removal of facial and neck skin lesions by Ms Eriola Mushi, Consultant ENT & Head and Neck Surgeon at Circle Cheshire Clinic, Northwich. Convenient for patients across Knutsford, Nantwich, Middlewich and the wider Cheshire region.
Conditions we treat
Ms Mushi removes a wide range of benign and suspicious skin lesions from the face and neck — work she performs routinely as part of her NHS consultant practice.
Removal of cosmetically troublesome or clinically suspicious moles, with histological examination where appropriate.
Surgical excision of sebaceous and epidermoid cysts on the face, scalp and neck, including infected or previously ruptured cysts.
Removal of soft fatty lumps beneath the skin of the face and neck, typically under local anaesthetic as a day-case procedure.
Rapid assessment and excision of lesions that may be changing in size, shape or colour, with same-day or early removal where clinically indicated.
Surgical management of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and other skin malignancies on the head and neck.
Assessment and removal of dermatofibromas, fibromas, papillomas, keratoses and other benign growths affecting the face and neck.
What to expect at your appointment
A straightforward process from consultation to removal — often completed in one or two visits.
Consultation and assessment
At your first appointment Ms Mushi will take a full history and examine the lesion carefully. She will discuss whether removal is the right option, what the procedure involves, and what the specimen will be sent for. There is no pressure — you leave with a clear plan.
Removal under local anaesthetic
Most lesions are removed in a single outpatient visit under local anaesthetic. The area is numbed, the lesion excised, and the wound closed with fine sutures. The procedure typically takes 20–40 minutes and you can go home the same day.
Histology and follow-up
All removed tissue is sent to a pathology laboratory for examination. Ms Mushi will discuss the results with you and arrange any further treatment if needed. For straightforward benign lesions, a single follow-up appointment is usually sufficient.
Why choose a Consultant ENT Surgeon?
Not all skin lesion removal is the same. The qualifications and experience of the person treating you matter.
Surgical training, not aesthetic training
Ms Mushi is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) with specialist training in head and neck surgery. She removes skin lesions on the face and neck every week as part of her NHS consultant practice — this is not a sideline.
Proper excision, not laser or cryotherapy
Surgical excision removes the entire lesion and provides a tissue sample for laboratory analysis. Laser or cryotherapy treatments offered at aesthetics clinics cannot confirm whether a lesion is benign — an important consideration for anything suspicious.
Head and neck expertise
The face and neck are areas where surgical precision matters most. Ms Mushi's specialist training in head and neck anatomy means she can operate in these areas safely, with attention to cosmetic outcome and minimising scarring.
NHS consultant, private access
As an NHS consultant surgeon, Ms Mushi sees and manages skin cancers as part of her routine NHS work. Booking privately means you access the same consultant expertise without the wait, typically within days rather than months.
