Surgical
Skin Procedures
Moles, skin cancer removal, scar revision, xanthelasma and lesions, with pathology where it matters.
All surgery at this practice is performed by Dr. Kamal Tumi, M.D., F.R.C.S.(C), a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 28 years in practice and over 3,500 surgeries performed. Several of these address a similar appearance by different means, and which one suits you depends on what is actually causing it rather than on which name you recognise. That is what the consultation determines.
