1. Educational purpose
The information on this website is provided for general education about general plastic surgery and surgical dermatology and the practice of Dr. Shaoliang Wang. It is not a substitute for a personal consultation, examination, and assessment by a qualified medical practitioner. No description of a lesion on this site can tell you what a particular growth is; only examination and, where indicated, examination of the tissue under a microscope can do that.
2. No guaranteed outcomes
Surgical results vary from person to person. No surgeon can guarantee a specific outcome, a particular timeline, or a risk-free operation. Excision always leaves a scar, and revision surgery improves a scar rather than erasing it. Any description of typical courses or results is general and may not apply to your individual situation.
3. Seek professional advice
If you have a medical concern about a lesion, a wound or a scar described here, or experience warning signs after surgery anywhere — a wound that is opening or not healing, spreading redness, fever, discharge, a lesion that is bleeding or changing quickly, or a finger that will not straighten or bend — seek urgent medical attention immediately. For general questions, arrange a consultation with a qualified medical practitioner.
