Overview of CPT Code 11441: Excision, benign skin lesion, face, ears, scalp; excised diameter over 4.0 cm.

A benign skin lesion is a non-cancerous growth on the skin that does not pose a health risk.

Scarring is possible, but the surgeon will take steps to minimize it.

The excision typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and location of the lesion.

If local anesthesia is used, you should be able to drive home unless otherwise advised.
