Q&A abouts Cysts

What is a cyst?

Cysts are swollen soft tissues 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 cysts?

There are many different types of cysts, but the most common is the sebaceous or epidermoid cyst. These occur in the skin and are generally harmless.

How do I know if I have a cyst?

If you are unsure if you have a cyst, feel free to reach out to the clinic. We will ask you to send through an initial description and photo, which is often enough information to help diagnose your cyst and to make a plan to remove it.

Most cysts form a raised bump on the skin, whereas pigmented spots on the skin are usually moles, not cysts. These can be treated with mole removal, a service we also provide in the clinic.

Why choose cyst removal?

The majority of cysts are benign and do not cause pain or discomfort. However, some patients may wish 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 them. Cysts may also grow in size over time if left untreated. In rare cases, cysts may be cancerous. If you have any concerns about your cyst or 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.

  I would definitely recommend Mr Abood, who was very kind and caring and Weymouth Street hospital.  From the first call to Justine who was so helpful and understanding and all staff from start to finish. I am very pleased with the result, thank you.

  Mr Abood was the surgeon who agreed to take me on, after months of rejections due to being deemed as too high risk.
However, Mr Abood made me feel reassured and confident going forward with the surgical procedure. I had several consultations that were never an inconvenience.
I had the most pleasant experience from start to finish and I’m over the moon with the end result. I will most certainly be using Mr Abood again

  I’d like to thank Mr Abood and his team for a brilliant experience. I had a breast augmentation in May and it has been a very smooth process from start to finish. All questions were answered thoroughly and professionally. I am looking forward to seeing my finished results once fully healed!

  Definitely 5 stars
It took me a long time to decide on bleharoplasty. But when I read all the positive reviews about Dr Ahid Abood I made an appointment for consultation. From the first appointment I liked the professionalism and attentiveness of Dr Ahid Abood, the surgery was easy and most importantly it was painless. I like the results which have met all my expectations, my eyes look younger, wider and I feel more confident than I did before the surgery. Thankyou Dr Abood and a great big thankyou to all the staff at the clinic......I'm totally satisfied 💯

  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!

Cyst Removal Treatment

How are cysts removed?

The most effective treatment is surgery.

The skin next to the cyst is injected with local anaesthetic. This numbs the skin and makes the removal procedure painless. Mr Abood will make a small cut over the cyst, and then carefully remove it from beneath the skin surface. The wound is then stitched closed with dissolvable sutures.

What happens after cyst removal?

You may experience slight discomfort after the local anaesthetic wears off, but you should not experience significant pain. The wound will be covered with a discrete dressing and will usually heal in 7-10 days. Removing the cyst instead of simply draining it ensures that the cyst will not return, as this procedure treats the root cause.

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. Very rarely, a cyst may come back even after it has been removed.
