Gordon Ramsay Reveals Surgery to Remove Basal Cell Carcinoma From Face

The chef turned the disclosure into a sunscreen reminder.

Overview

  • Ramsay shared an Instagram photo showing his jaw and neck bandaged and thanked The Skin Associates for his care.
  • He urged followers to wear sunscreen and joked that the procedure was not a facelift.
  • The removed lesion was identified as basal cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer.
  • Mayo Clinic guidance notes this cancer often appears on sun‑exposed areas like the head and neck and can resemble slightly transparent bumps.
  • Treatment options include surgical removal or radiation therapy, and Ramsay said he chose surgery.
