Procedures We Perform

Earlobe Repair

Repair of torn, split, or stretched (“gauged”) earlobes caused by trauma, heavy earrings, or gauges. Performed under local anesthesia in 30–45 minutes with natural-looking results and re-piercing possible after healing.

Insurance note: Most earlobe repairs are considered cosmetic and are not covered by insurance. Our transparent cash price ranges from $500–$600 (exact quote given at consultation). Payment is due at time of service.

Lipoma Removal

Surgical excision of soft, benign fatty lumps anywhere on the body (neck, back, arms, etc.). 20–40 minutes. Almost always covered by insurance.

Sebaceous & Epidermoid Cyst Removal

Complete removal of painful, or recurring cysts on the face, trunk, or extremities. Full capsule excision prevents recurrence. 20–40 minutes. Almost always covered by insurance.

Pilar (Scalp) Cyst Removal

Excision of firm, mobile scalp cysts using hair-sparing techniques—no visible shaving required in nearly all cases. 20–45 minutes. Almost always covered by insurance.

Other Benign Growth Removal

Excision of concerning moles, skin tags, or atypical nevi. 10–30 minutes. Covered when medically indicated.
