Fibroma Removal in NYC
Fibroma Removal in NYC
Fibromas are benign skin growths that, while harmless, can be bothersome or cosmetically unappealing. If you have fibromas that cause discomfort or affect your confidence, fibroma removal at Park Plaza Dermatology provides a safe and effective solution. Using advanced treatment methods such as excision, laser therapy, and cryotherapy, our experienced dermatologists ensure smooth and scar-free skin. Whether for medical or aesthetic reasons, our team offers the best care for removing fibromas in NYC.
What is Fibroma Removal and How It Works
Fibroma removal refers to the safe elimination of benign skin growths, which commonly appear as small, raised bumps or soft tissue masses. Fibromas are often found on the neck, armpits, groin, or other areas where skin experiences friction. While these growths are non-cancerous, some individuals opt for fibroma removal to improve skin appearance or alleviate irritation.
At Park Plaza Dermatology, we use several fibroma removal techniques:
Surgical Excision
A precise, minor surgical procedure to remove the fibroma completely.
Laser Therapy
A non-invasive method that targets and eliminates fibromas with minimal scarring.
Cryotherapy
Freezing the fibroma using liquid nitrogen, causing it to fall off naturally over time.
Electrocautery
Using controlled heat to remove fibromas, preventing regrowth.
Each method is carefully chosen based on the size, location, and type of fibroma, ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort.
Reasons for Undergoing Fibroma Removal
Many individuals seek fibroma removal for various reasons, including:
Cosmetic Improvement
Removing fibromas enhances skin smoothness and boosts confidence.
Eliminating Irritation
Fibromas in high-friction areas can cause discomfort, itching, or chafing.
Preventing Growth and Multiplication
While fibromas are benign, they may increase in size or number over time.
Reducing the Risk of Inflammation
Fibromas can become inflamed due to irritation from clothing or jewelry.
Enhancing Skin Comfort
Smoother, clearer skin makes everyday activities more comfortable.
Improved Hygiene
Removing fibromas in areas prone to sweating can help maintain cleanliness and reduce bacterial buildup.
Medical Necessity
Some fibromas may become painful or prone to bleeding, requiring removal for health reasons.
At Park Plaza Dermatology, our specialists ensure a painless and effective fibroma removal experience with long-lasting results.
Fibroma Removal Before & After Pictures
The Fibroma Removal Process: What to Expect
Consultation
A fibroma removal consultation at Park Plaza Dermatology includes:
- A thorough skin examination to assess the fibroma(s).
- A discussion of symptoms, concerns, and desired outcomes.
- A personalized treatment plan based on skin type and fibroma characteristics.
- Answering any concerns about potential scarring or skin discoloration.
Preparation
Before undergoing fibroma removal, patients should:
- Avoid direct sun exposure on the affected area to reduce skin sensitivity.
- Discontinue blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin) if recommended by the doctor.
- Keep the area clean and free of lotions or skincare products on the day of the procedure.
- Inform the dermatologist of any allergies or previous skin reactions to ensure safe treatment.
- Wear loose-fitting clothing if the fibroma is in an area prone to friction.
The Day of the Procedure
Depending on the removal method:
Surgical Excision
Local anesthesia is applied, and the fibroma is carefully cut away. The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
Laser Therapy
A precise laser beam targets the fibroma, breaking it down without affecting surrounding skin. The session lasts 10-20 minutes.
Cryotherapy
Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the fibroma, causing it to shrink and fall off naturally. This treatment takes just a few minutes.
Electrocautery
Heat energy is used to remove fibromas with minimal bleeding, and the procedure lasts 10-15 minutes.
Each method is quick, safe, and requires little to no downtime.
Fibroma Removal Recovery Timeline
Healing time varies depending on the fibroma removal technique used:
Surgical Excision
Minor swelling or redness may occur for a few days; full healing within 1-2 weeks.
Laser Therapy
Mild redness or scabbing for 5-7 days; results visible within two weeks.
Cryotherapy
The treated area may darken or form a scab, falling off naturally in 7-14 days.
Electrocautery
Healing is usually complete in 5-10 days, with minimal risk of recurrence.
Our dermatologists provide aftercare guidelines to ensure smooth healing and prevent scarring.
The Cost of Birthmark Removal
The price of fibroma removal depends on several factors:
Size and Number of Fibromas
Larger or multiple fibromas may require extended treatment time.
Method Used
Laser therapy and cryotherapy are generally more affordable than surgical excision.
Insurance Coverage
Some cases of fibroma removal may be covered if deemed medically necessary.
Follow-up Appointments
