Minor Surgery

Mole, cyst and lipoma removal under local anesthetic in North Houston. Exam first, procedure in the clinic and aftercare in Spanish or English.

Minor surgery means a short procedure done right in the office, under local anesthetic and with no hospital stay, to remove lumps or growths on the skin. At Clínica Hispana Cruz 2 we do it for moles, cysts and lipomas that bother you, keep growing or get irritated by clothing, and we explain every step in Spanish or English.

What can be removed at the clinic?

  • Moles that rub against your belt, bra strap or razor
  • Cysts under the skin that flare up every so often
  • Lipomas: soft, fatty lumps that slide around when you touch them

Exam first, or straight to the procedure?

Exam first. The medical team looks at the size, location and appearance of the growth, and asks how long you've had it and whether it has changed. If it isn't a good fit for minor surgery, for example because it's very large or in a delicate spot, they help arrange a referral to a specialist.

What is the procedure like?

The skin is cleaned, local anesthetic goes in through a thin needle, and once the area is numb the growth is removed. You'll typically feel pressure or tugging rather than sharp pain; if anything hurts, say so and more anesthetic is given. Stitches close it if needed, a bandage goes on top, and you walk out on your own.

What should you mention beforehand?

  • Aspirin, blood thinners or supplements that affect clotting
  • Allergies to anesthetics or antiseptics
  • Diabetes or a history of slow healing
  • Pregnancy

When to call us or head to the ER afterward

Some soreness and a bruise around the site are normal. Call us if the wound opens, turns red and warm or drains pus; go to the ER if it keeps bleeding despite pressure or you run a high fever. Follow-up checks and stitch removal are handled through wound care.

How do you get evaluated?

Come to our Kuykendahl Rd clinic near Champions and Willowbrook any day between 9 AM and 9 PM, or call and we'll book a time for the procedure. You get the price before scheduling, and insurance isn't required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, plenty of people ask for cosmetic reasons or because it gets in the way. The medical team still examines it first; if the mole has changed color or shape, or bleeds, they explain what that means and decide with you how best to handle it.

It can happen, especially with cysts if part of the sac that forms them stays behind, which is why we try to take them out whole. If you notice a lump in the same spot again, come back and have the medical team look at it.

Since only local anesthetic is used, usually yes; it doesn't put you to sleep or leave you groggy. If the wound is on a hand, a foot or somewhere you need to move to drive, ask the team whether you should bring someone along.
