Mohs micrographic surgery is the gold standard for treating skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and select early melanomas. Dr. Bahr removes the visible tumor and examines tissue margins under a microscope in stages—repeating the process until no cancer cells remain—achieving high cure rates while preserving healthy skin. Patients remain awake with local anesthetic, and same-day reconstruction or wound care may be provided to support optimal healing and minimize scarring
A lipoma is a common, non-cancerous growth made up of fat cells that develops just beneath the skin. These soft, slow-growing lumps are usually painless, but they can become bothersome if they increase in size, press on nearby structures, or affect your appearance. At Bahr Dermatology, lipoma removal surgery is performed with precision and care by a board-certified dermatologist, ensuring accurate diagnosis and safe, effective treatment.
Cysts are common, benign, fluid- or keratin-filled sacs that form beneath the skin. While often harmless, they can become inflamed, infected, painful, or cosmetically concerning. At Bahr Dermatology, cyst removal is performed by a board-certified dermatologist using precise surgical techniques. Depending on the type and size of the cyst (such as epidermoid or sebaceous cysts), the procedure typically involves local anesthesia, a small incision, complete removal of the cyst wall to minimize recurrence, and careful wound closure for optimal healing and minimal scarring.
Skin cancer removal surgery is a highly effective treatment for various forms of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. At Bahr Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologist tailors the approach to the cancer type, location, size, and depth—options include standard surgical excision with clear margins, as well as advanced techniques like Mohs micrographic surgery for optimal tissue preservation. The goal is complete cancer removal while achieving the best possible cosmetic outcome. Same-day reconstruction or advanced wound care is often provided to support healing and minimize scarring.
