Cyst Removal
Cyst removal is a minor surgical procedure used to excise or drain cysts that have formed on the skin. Cysts can vary in size and type, and they often develop due to blockages in hair follicles or sebaceous glands. Common types of cysts treated include epidermoid cysts, sebaceous cysts, and pilar cysts.
While most cysts are non-cancerous, they can become painful, infected, or grow in a way that affects appearance. Our dermatologists perform cyst removals with precision to eliminate the cyst and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Benefits of Cyst Removal
- Eliminate Discomfort: Removes cysts that cause pain, irritation, or inflammation.
- Prevent Infection: Reduces the risk of cysts becoming infected or abscessed.
- Improve Appearance: Clears away cysts that may be causing unsightly lumps or bumps on the skin.
- Minimize Scarring: We use advanced techniques to minimize scarring during and after the procedure.
- Safe and Effective: Cyst removal is a routine, low-risk procedure with a high success rate.
Who Needs Cyst Removal?
Cyst removal is recommended for individuals who experience any of the following:
- Painful or Inflamed Cysts: If the cyst is causing pain or discomfort.
- Infected Cysts: If the cyst becomes infected or forms an abscess.
- Large or Growing Cysts: When a cyst grows to a size that’s difficult to manage or affects appearance.
- Cosmetic Concerns: If you wish to remove a cyst for aesthetic reasons, especially if it’s located on visible areas like the face, neck, or back.
What to Expect During a Cyst Removal Procedure
- Consultation: During your consultation, our dermatologists will assess the cyst, determine whether removal is necessary, and discuss the most appropriate treatment for you.
- Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable and pain-free.
- Cyst Removal: The cyst is carefully excised or drained, with the surrounding tissue being preserved. In some cases, the cyst wall may also be removed to minimize the chance of recurrence.
- Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize any potential complications.
