Cyst Removal

Cyst Removal from the Face

Patients are often reluctant to have cysts removed until they get to a size where they are visible or causing annoyance, due to concerns about scarring.

At Cosmedics Skin Clinics, we remove facial cysts using techniques that seek to minimise the visible scarring. This we often do through a micro-excision, so the cyst is removed almost from the inside through a tiny little hole which only normally requires one or two stitches.  This has far reaching benefits.  Not only is the incision much smaller and the scarring is as a result much less, but also the risk of infection and wound healing is far superior.

Cyst Removal on the Body

Cysts are commonly found on the body, neck and scalp and typically increase in size as we get older.  There is no obvious known cause for these cysts; however they are thought to come about from in-growing hairs.

Treatments in the past often involved larger surgical excisions. However, with modern surgical technologies, cysts can be removed through a micro-incision, leaving only a small scar as wtih facial cyst removal.

Aftercare

Patients will be given the appropriate advice on how to care for their wound and minimise scarring. This will be explained at the consultation to ensure that patients are making a fully informed decision about their treatment. A full understanding of aftercare is also important to enable patients to choose appropriate timing to fit in with events or holidays.

Depending on the procedure and whether stitches/dressings are required, there may be a follow-up appointment about a week later. This second appointment is included in the cost of cyst removal.
