Cyst removal is a straightforward surgical procedure that can be carried out on the scalp, head, face or anywhere on the body. The procedure is performed while you are awake using local anaesthetic injections.

Cyst Removal Consultation
The Procedure
A cyst removal consultation is an opportunity to discuss the procedure in detail with the accredited plastic surgeon who will be carrying out your procedure.
A consultation is required if you have a large cyst, multiple cysts or a complex cyst, if the cyst has become inflamed or infected, or if the cyst is in a prominent facial area.
A cyst removal consultation will also allow the doctor to establish that the lesion is indeed a cyst. Other types of skin lesion can mimic a cyst including lipomas, lymph nodes and skin tumors, therefore a consultation is always advised.

Cyst Removal FAQ's
Common questions about cyst removal procedures
Is surgery to remove a cyst painful?
During a cyst removal, the doctor / plastic surgeon will mark and numb the area around the bump. You'll get a few injections that may slightly sting, but that's the worst part. After that, you won't feel the procedure.
Is it worth removing a cyst?
Most of the time, cysts do not need to be removed because they usually aren't harmful to your health. However, sometimes, cysts can grow and cause discomfort and pain. Depending on where the cyst is located, it can also cause embarrassment as well. This is generally either a personal preference or health related.
What happens if a cyst is left untreated?
Some cysts are cancerous and early treatment is vital. If left untreated, benign cysts can cause serious complications including: Infection – the cyst fills with bacteria and pus, and becomes an abscess. If the abscess bursts inside the body, there is a risk of blood poisoning (septicaemia).
How long does it take to heal from a cyst removal surgery?
After the removal of your cyst, you can expect a complete recovery period of about two to four weeks. The actual healing time is based on the type of your cyst, your health, and how it was removed. But because the procedure is only minimally invasive, you'll be able to return home on the same day.
