Reconstructive plastic surgery Nevi and benigh skin lesions
Moles, commonly known as “nevi,” as well as benign skin lesions, are very common findings and in most cases do not pose a risk to health. They may appear from childhood or develop gradually over time and are associated with genetic factors, sun exposure, and the natural aging of the skin.
Moles (pigmented or non-pigmented):
These are clusters of melanocytes and may vary in color (brown, black, or skin-colored), size, and shape. The majority are benign and remain stable for many years.
Common benign skin lesions include:
-
seborrheic keratoses (rough or “stuck-on” brown lesions),
-
angiomas (small red lesions),
-
skin tags (soft protrusions),
-
cysts and fibroepithelial lesions.

When clinical examination is consider necessary
Clinical examination is essential when a mole or lesion:
-
changes in size, color, or shape,
-
shows asymmetry or irregular borders,
-
bleeds, becomes painful, or causes itching,
-
appears suddenly during adulthood.
Clinical examination combined with dermoscopy allows for accurate assessment and, when indicated, recommendation for removal.

Removal of navi and benign skin lesions
Removal may be performed for medical or aesthetic reasons using modern and safe techniques (surgical excision, laser, or diathermy), always with respect for both function and skin aesthetics. When necessary, the removed tissue is sent for histological examination.
Prevention and regular monitoring are the most effective ways to safeguard skin health. An individualized assessment offers reassurance, early diagnosis, and an aesthetically optimal outcome.
