Surgery - Chilterns Dermatology Chambers

Dr Sophie Grabczynska and Dr Mohsin Ali undertake regular surgical sessions with Dr Mohsin Ali also offering advanced skin cancer surgery and cosmetic surgery including botox. All surgical patients must be seen and assessed in one of our general dermatology clinics prior to any surgery.

A surgical information sheet will be given to all patients prior to surgery. Please let the doctor know about any allergies and about any drugs that you might be taking especially any anti-coagulants and any other blood thinning tablets. You’ll be asked to complete a consent form immediately prior to surgery. Operations normally take around half an hour and you will normally be able to return home immediately afterwards. Stitches will normally need to be removed 1 – 2 weeks later

Skin Surgery including Skin Cancer Surgery

Skin surgery is undertaken using local anaesthetic in our outpatient theatre. All lesions are normally sent for histological evaluation both to confirm the diagnosis and in the case of skin cancers to confirm complete excision
