Removal of Skin Tags (Papillomas)
Papilloma (Skin Tag) Removal: A Simple and Precise Procedure
Papillomas, commonly known as skin tags, are benign growths that often appear on the neck, eyelids, underarms, or other areas subject to friction. Although medically harmless, they can be aesthetically bothersome or occasionally irritated. Their removal is a straightforward and safe procedure, performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring both comfort and precision.
How the Treatment Works
Papilloma removal is carried out based on the size, morphology, and anatomical location of the lesion. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically completed within about 30 minutes.
Depending on each case, the Plastic Surgeon may use surgical excision, electrocautery, or laser ablation. Each method ensures complete removal of the lesion while maintaining healthy skin integrity, and the specific approach is determined during a detailed clinical assessment.
Procedures are performed under strict aseptic conditions, guided by evidence-based protocols, to achieve precision and excellent cosmetic outcomes. Results are visible immediately, with minor swelling resolving within a short period after the procedure.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-treatment recovery is typically simple and rapid, allowing for an immediate return to normal activities. To support optimal healing:
- Keep the treated area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
- Avoid intense physical exercise for a day to prevent irritation.
- If a small dressing is applied, replace it as directed to maintain hygiene.
- Any transient redness or mild swelling usually settles within a few days.
Final aesthetic results appear once minor swelling subsides, restoring smooth and evenly toned skin.

Excellent doctor and kind staff. I visited the doctor to remove papillomas in the neck area with a scalpel. The removal was done with local anesthesia quickly and painlessly and most importantly without leaving any marks!!

I originally visited Dr Askouni 3 years ago, requesting her help regarding a failed surgery I had with another very well-known plastic surgeon in Greece (unsuccessful removal of moles from scalp and back which resulted in infected wounds and keloid hypertrophic scars). She came across extremely knowledgeable, friendly and provided a thorough explanation of my post-surgery condition and how it could be treated. Unlike other surgeons, she accepted to take over the reconstructive surgery and I was utterly pleased with the outcome. She is methodical, approachable, caring to the patient and extremely skilled. Post this surgery, Dr Askouni has treated me and my husband for skin papillomas, following the best technique and methodology so we were left with no dark spots. She also performed further mole removal without stitching up the wounds. This was hassle free for me as a patient; the wound healed incredibly well leaving no marks. She has been performing regular mesotherapy treatments on my face with great success too! Dr Askouni is the epitome of a very professional yet down to earth and humane doctor. I cannot thank her enough for her expertise and attentiveness.

I was completely satisfied with Ms. Evita. She was very experienced. She was very formal with the Covid-19 safety measures for the visit and like a professional. I visited her for mole removal. Before we started she informed me in detail about the removal method and the marks they would leave afterwards. The operation was completely painless and comfortable as Ms. Evita confirmed whether the anesthetic had worked before each removal. She explained all her steps during the operation and at the end she showed me the result. I was impressed by the interest she showed me as a customer as after 1 week she called me to check on the status of my stitches. I highly recommend her!
