Private Skin Cancer Removal in Edinburgh

Welcome to our Edinburgh skin cancer service. Plastic surgeons are typically called upon to treat skin cancers in areas where cosmetic outcomes are particularly important or when more intricate reconstruction is necessary.

We frequently receive referrals for skin cancer patients from our dermatology colleagues or GPs. We offer surgical removal of skin cancers such as Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), and Melanoma. Our goal is to completely excise the tumour while preserving both function and appearance. Additionally, we are well-prepared to handle any required reconstruction, including skin grafts or local flaps.

"Attended on Christmas Eve for a consultation with Dr Kazem Nassar and subsequent multiple raised moles removal from face. Received really good information and assurance prior to attending , the procedure went smoothly and relatively pain free and also received good verbal and written advice regarding wound care . Stitch removal was pain free and all wounds appear to be healing well with good advice going forward to minimise scarring ! Wish I had done this years ago ! Hospital was easy to get to , small , quiet , ample parking , teas and coffees for patients and anyone waiting and friendly staff ."

"From my first contact with Waterfront Private Hospital to walking out the door after the procedure, I received exceptional care. All staff I encountered were professional and approachable especially Dr Nassar who undertook the procedure. He explained what would happen, the risks and how to manage the wound at home. This resulted in a stress free procedure for which I was grateful."

Cyst removal

"The hospital was lovely and clean. The doctor who did the cyst removal on my head was very well informed, told me everything about getting it done. Excelled customer service and care. The procedure itself along with a consultation took just under an hour so it was very quick and relatively painless, the doctor took time and care to take the cyst out. Nurse was lovely and friendly, I felt very at ease. I would recommend this hospital and if I need anything else done I will go here in the future."

"I had an amazing experience when I attended the Waterfront Private Hospital. My procedure was thoroughly explained to me at my Consultation. I was also under no pressure to go ahead with the procedure. Dr Kazem Nassar was amazing. Throughout my procedure I was very nervous and the Nurse kept me calm and chatted to me all the way through. I would definitely recommend The Waterfront Private Hospital."

Skin Cancer Treatment Options

We provide a range of treatments for skin cancer in Edinburgh, personalised to fit the specific needs of each patient. Our mission is to deliver effective treatments that ensure both patient comfort and the best possible cosmetic results. Below are the treatment options we offer:

  • Non Surgical: Topical Treatment

    We use medical creams and gels designed to target and eliminate cancer cells. These non-invasive treatments are ideal for cancers located on the surface of the skin and are known for their minimal side effects.

  • Surgical: Excision

    This method involves surgically removing the cancerous growth along with a small portion of the surrounding healthy tissue. It is an effective strategy for thoroughly treating various skin cancers.

  • Surgical: Electrosurgery

    This approach combines the physical removal of cancerous cells through scraping with the application of electrical currents to destroy any remaining cells. This method is particularly effective for treating small, superficial skin cancers while maintaining a good cosmetic outcome.
