Moles are small, coloured spots on the skin. Most people have them and they’re usually nothing to worry about unless they change size, shape or colour. Most moles are harmless.
Harmless moles are generally round or oval-shaped, with a smooth edge. Moles can be flat or raised and may feel smooth or rough. Sometimes moles have hair growing from them. Moles are usually darker on brown and black skin.
It’s normal for:
Many moles are cosmetically unacceptable, but they may also be a nuisance. They may get cut during shaving, bleed, or get caught on clothing, necklaces or combs. Some moles are ‘beauty spots’, but others may look unattractive or be a source of concern. The same may apply to small birth marks, skin tags, warts, cysts, papillomas and other lumps and bumps on the skin which need removing.

Moles on the face and neck respond best to removal techniques. Other body areas are more likely to leave a small patch of pale skin when the mole has been removed.
Of course, all moles are examined by Mr Banwell who will identify and diagnose it before removal, and if there is any concern that the moles are not completely benign (harmless growths) then sampling of tissue may be recommended with the pathologist.
In these cases we like to be sure the mole is not possibly cancerous.
Doctors know that most moles can be removed simply and quickly without the need to cut the skin or have stitches (otherwise known as shave excision), although sometimes stitches may be required. The expert skin specialist, Mr Paul Banwell, consultant plastic surgeon and skin expert, uses both these methods to remove moles, skin tags and birthmarks.
These small procedures are carried out under a local anaesthetic (with you awake) but sometimes sedation or a general anaesthetic might be preferred.
Alternatively Mr Banwell may decide to remove the whole mole (this is termed an excision biopsy). In most cases the moles will be sent away to the laboratory for analysis unless the surgical removal is purely for cosmetic reasons.
You are in good hands as Mr Banwell performs hundreds of these procedures every year and was also the founder and head of the Melanoma and Skin Cancer Unit (MASCU) in East Grinstead.
Mr Banwell has clinics for mole removal, surgical mole excision and skin tag removal in East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Tunbridge Wells, Worthing, Brighton and London.
Mr Banwell is able to remove hairy moles, unsightly moles, skin tags, warts, warty lesions, keratotic lesions, skin cancers, basal cell carcinomas (BCC), squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and malginant melanomas (MM).

Mole removal procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic (with you awake and the skin numbed by giving an injection with a needle – just like at the dentist). This is a quick and simple procedure with a short recovery period which will be thoroughly explained to you.
You will be able to return to sedentary activity (ie an office job) the following day, but should avoid strenuous physical activity for a minimum of 2-weeks.
Stitches are removed between 1 and 2 weeks after the surgery. If your lump was shaved off then you will just leave the dressing to fall off in time.
You will be able to drive the following day if you are careful. If the operation was on your face or head, it is important not to bend down or lift things for 48-hours after the operation – this is to minimise the risk of bleeding (for example, when doing up shoe laces, bring your foot up whilst sitting down, rather than bending down).
It is also a good idea to use a couple of pillows when sleeping to avoid laying flat. This helps minimise swelling and there may be redness and scarring.
Paul Banwell BSc(Hons) FRCS(Eng) FRCS(Plast) has developed an international reputation in the fields of cosmetic surgery, scarring, skin health and skin cancer and lectures worldwide on these subjects.
Mr Banwell has also published extensively, is a Visiting Professor of Plastic Surgery to Harvard Medical School and in his early career was under the tutelage of a Nobel Prize nominee. He is also a favourite with Beauty Editors and his work has received accolades from Tatler and the Times.

Just to say a BIG thank you to you and your team for all the wonderful help and support you have given me over the last 1 ½ years. You have given me back my confidence thank you.
Dear Mr Banwell I am writing to thank you, Kim and the rest of the lovely staff at the McIndoe. I was very nervous when I first met you, about having surgery but realised that it was a necessary evil. I need not have been worried, as from our initial consultation to surgery to full recovery, you have all been amazing. You have changed my life – for the first time ever I have had some photos taken of me and my children. I stand taller and feel so much happier with life. I have even started my own business. I never realised that it would have had such a profound effect – and it didn’t hurt!! Thank you again. I wish you and your team lots of health, luck and happiness.
My care was efficient and effective, the office staff were excellent and the clinic clean. Mr Banwell did a very good job under difficult circumstances given the length of time the BCC had been there. I would definitely recommend Mr Banwell.
These were only minor operations, but I have never had anything like it before. All I can say is that it was an excellent place to start. The care was excellent from start to finish with a perfect blemish free outcome. I would certainly recommend the service to others.
I am writing to let you know that I was very pleased with the recent surgery to remove several moles on my face, neck and back. The whole process was carried out very efficiently. The mole on my face has almost completely disappeared already. The post-operative information was most helpful, although the leaflet I was given varied slightly from your verbal instructions. However, you accurately told me what to expect. I have no hesitation in recommending your work to other people. The on site staff were all friendly and helpful throughout.
I cannot thank you enough for the assiduous care and attention that you so generously gave to me before, during and after surgery. The level of detailed information you gave to me, your patience in answering my myriad questions and your generosity of spirit, ensured the whole experience was not in the least daunting. The outcome has been well beyond my expectations and I am unreservedly delighted with the outcome. Thank you so much for all your genuine and enjoyable exchanges.
