What we treat

Cysts and lipomas we remove

A cyst or lipoma is a lump under the skin. Our surgeons remove sebaceous cysts, epidermoid cysts and lipomas as minor procedures under local anaesthetic, whether the reason is cosmetic or medical.

The consultant assesses the lump first and discusses the best approach with you. If it needs specialist plastic surgery instead, you are told at the consultation.

Your visit

What happens at a cyst removal appointment

Cyst removal is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should feel no pain during the removal itself. All procedures are carried out by consultant-grade specialists in sterile, CQC-registered clinic rooms.

Removed tissue is sent to our accredited histopathology laboratory when clinically indicated, with results typically available within 5 to 7 working days.

At the appointment

  • The consultant examines the area and agrees the approach with you.
  • Local anaesthetic numbs the skin. You may feel a brief sting as it is injected.
  • Most procedures are completed within 30 to 45 minutes.
  • You leave with post-operative instructions and can return to work or home straight away.
