Excision (Nevus, Cyst, Lipoma, and Other Skin Lesions)
Skin lesions such as nevus (moles), cysts, lipomas and other soft tissue lumps can cause aesthetic complaints, discomfort and medical concerns. In certain conditions, removal of the lesion is the right step to ensure tissue safety while improving the appearance of the body area.
Excision is a minor surgical procedure that precisely removes skin lesions down to the tissue base, with the aim of a neat, safe and medically controlled result.
What is Excision and How is it Approached?
Excision is a surgical procedure to completely remove a skin or soft tissue lesion, including its base or capsule, to reduce the risk of recurrence and allow for tissue examination when necessary.
At Dahayu, excision is performed with a structured and responsible medical approach. Each lesion is first evaluated by the doctor to determine the indication, removal technique, and wound closure plan according to the location and tissue characteristics. The entire procedure is performed in a RSIA Puri Bunda Denpasar environment with strict hospital standards, so that aspects of safety, sterility and post-action monitoring are maintained.

- Nevus or mole that changes size, color, or shape
- Recurrent, enlarged, or painful skin cysts
- Lipomas that are aesthetically or functionally disruptive
- Benign skin lesions that are prominent or easily irritated
- Lesions that require tissue examination (histopathology)
The indication for action is determined through medical evaluation first.
