Q&A abouts Cysts

What is a cyst?

Cysts are swollen soft tissue that occur as visible lumps on the skin surface, often on the face and neck. They are a type of skin lesion.

What are the different types of cyst?

An epidermoid cyst is a small, round bump under the skin, often with a blackhead on the central opening. A thick, yellow substance may drain from it occasionally. An epidermoid cyst is one of the most common types.

A sebaceous cyst is a cyst filled with a white, waxy substance, that may occur anywhere on the skin surface. These form from the sebaceous glands.

How do I know if I have a cyst?

If you are unsure if you have the symptoms of a cyst, please book an initial consultation with our clinic. In your appointment with our cosmetic consultants, we can discuss the range of treatments available, and decide on the best treatment for you. The symptoms of cysts can vary widely, and so medical diagnosis is essential before we can provide treatment.

Dark brown spots on the skin are moles, not cysts. These can be treated with mole removal, a service we also provide in our clinic.

Why choose cyst removal?

The majority of cysts are benign, and do not cause pain or discomfort. However, some patients may opt to undergo the surgical procedure of cyst removal for health or cosmetic reasons.

Cysts can become painful if they are infected, and therefore surgery will be needed to remove it. Cysts may also grow in size without effective treatment. In some rare cases, cysts may even be cancerous. If you have concerns about skin cancer, please contact the clinic as soon as possible.

Many patients also have cyst removal if they feel the cyst is unsightly and therefore damaging to their self esteem. Many cysts form on the skin of the face, scalp and neck, and may be visible to others.

Nina Jones 1 year ago

Four weeks ago I had upper eyelid and brow lift surgery and I am absolutely delighted with the results already. Mr Abood and his team looked after me really well. So much so, I am planning to return and have my lower lids done, once my upper lids have completely healed. I attach a before and after photo of my eyes to show what a difference the surgery has made to my lids and why I am so pleased with the results.

My upper blepharoplasty procedure was a relaxing experience throughout and it went very smoothly, thanks to Mr Abood. I am extremely pleased with the results so far, after only 8 days. Everyone at the clinic made this a very pleasant experience. Thank you.

I can honestly say that Mr Abood is extremely personable. He made me feel at ease from my 1st meeting with him. He explained what to expect from my surgery very well. I never felt rushed during appointments, I really felt reasured when I asked questions and he knew I was worried about going to London for my breast argumentation and lower blasphemy . He took time to video call me before my operations to offer reassurance .
I can not thank him more for his kindness and professionalism.
All in all I am extremely happy with the results and would definitely recommend him . I have discussed another surgery with him for later in the year . I would not choose a different surgeon, Mr Abood and his staff are fantastic.

I had Breast Augmentation and Uplift with Dr Abood 31st July 2024 at Weymouth Street Hospital in London. This has been the easiest and most stress free procedure I've ever had. Dr Abood and Justine are so kind and lovely, I felt totally at ease and welcome from my first appointment. The aftercare is incredible, nothing is too much and I'm absolutely thrilled with my results so far. I cannot recommend Dr Abood enough. So thankful for everything!

I would like to thanks Mr Abood got an incredible experience start to finish. I was super anxious about surgery but also wanted a breast augmentation for a very long time. Mr Abood made me feel at ease all the way through and I knew I was in safe hands. The confidence this has given me is amazing and I wish I had done it sooner. Thank you so much.

I had inverted nipple correction surgery on my right nipple with Dr Abood around 5 weeks ago.

I am really happy with the result of my inverted nipple correction, the nipple has healed really quickly with very minimal to no bruising and looks like it was never even inverted in the first place! I am very pleased with the result as I have always been so self conscious about having 1 inverted nipple.

Thank you Dr Abood, who was professional, skilled and knowledgeable who made me feel at ease during the surgery and followed up promptly on my after care.

The whole process was fantastic, from consultation to surgery. I could not recommend Dr Abood highly enough.

Cyst Removal Treatment

How are cysts removed?

The most effective treatment is surgery.

Patients are provided with injections of local anaesthetic. The surgeon will make a small cut over the cyst, and then cut it out of the skin. The surgeon can then close the cut with stitches.

What happens after cyst removal?

You may experience some slight discomfort after the local anaesthetic wears off, but you should not experience significant pain. The cut will heal within several weeks, leaving only a small scar. Using a surgical procedure instead of simply draining the cyst ensures that the cyst will not return, as this procedure treats the root cause.

If the cyst is cancerous, further treatment may be needed. We will support you if you receive this diagnosis.

What are the risks of cyst removal?

There is a small risk of infection, as with all surgery. There may also be some slight bleeding.
