Aura Medical Clinic offers surgical removal of lipomas, cysts and skin lesions in Tirana. The procedure is planned after assessment by a specialist surgeon and performed in the Day Hospital, with personalised care and follow-up after the intervention.
Growths in the skin and tissues beneath it vary in appearance, size and cause. The consultation helps determine the type of growth, the reason for removal and the appropriate treatment approach.
What surgical excision is
Excision is the controlled surgical removal of a growth together with the area determined by the surgeon. Depending on the case, the removed tissue may be sent for histopathological analysis on the doctor’s recommendation.
The aim may be to address a physical problem, prevent recurrence, assess a change or improve the appearance of the area.
Growths that are treated
This page covers the assessment and removal of:
- lipomas, which are fatty lumps beneath the skin;
- cysts in or beneath the skin;
- moles and other growths, depending on the assessment;
- lesions that change in size or appearance;
- growths that cause discomfort or interfere with activity;
- changes for which surgical assessment is recommended.
The specialist determines whether excision is the right procedure and whether laboratory analysis of the tissue is needed.
Consultation and assessment
The consultation reviews the location, size, appearance, duration and changes in the growth. Symptoms, previous procedures, medicines, allergies, wound healing and expectations about the scar are discussed.
The surgeon explains the technique, anaesthesia, wound closure, aftercare and histopathological analysis when recommended.

Any incision can leave a scar. Its appearance depends on the location, size, technique and individual healing. The surgeon explains what to expect and how to care for the area.
