Lipoma & Cyst Removal

Lipomas and cysts are common benign lumps that can cause discomfort, pain, or cosmetic concern. At our clinic, we offer precision surgical removal performed by an experienced dermatologist—ensuring complete removal, minimal scarring, and fast healing.


What Are Lipomas & Cysts?

Lipomas

Lipomas are soft, painless, rubbery lumps made of fat cells. They are commonly found on:

  • Arms
  • Back
  • Neck
  • Shoulders
  • Thighs

They usually grow slowly and may become bothersome or noticeable through clothing.

Sebaceous / Epidermoid Cysts

These are small, round, firm bumps under the skin caused by trapped keratin. They may:

  • Enlarge over time
  • Become infected
  • Turn painful
  • Discharge foul-smelling material

Both lipomas and cysts are non-cancerous, but often require removal for comfort, hygiene, or cosmetic reasons.


When Should You Consider Removal?

You may opt for removal if the lump:

  • Is increasing in size
  • Is painful or uncomfortable
  • Gets repeatedly infected
  • Interferes with daily activities or clothing
  • Appears cosmetically unappealing
  • Causes pressure or heaviness
  • Is located on visible areas such as the face, neck, or arms
  • Requires a definitive, permanent solution

Dermatologist-performed removal ensures complete excision with minimal recurrence.


Lipoma & Cyst Removal Techniques We Offer

Minor Surgical Excision (Gold Standard)

  • Local anesthesia for complete comfort
  • Precise removal of the entire cyst wall or lipoma capsule
  • Minimal bleeding
  • Excellent cosmetic closure with fine sutures

Punch Excision (for Small Cysts)

  • Tiny circular incision
  • Ideal for facial cysts
  • Hardly visible scar

Minimal-Scar Technique

  • Smallest possible incision
  • Careful dissection to avoid surrounding tissue damage
  • Best suited for cosmetically sensitive and visible areas

All procedures follow strict sterile protocols to ensure safe, clean, and effective treatment.


What to Expect During the Procedure

  • Thorough examination by the dermatologist
  • Area cleaned and fully numbed
  • Lump gently removed along with its capsule to prevent recurrence
  • Fine sutures placed for optimal cosmetic healing
  • Procedure duration: 20–45 minutes

Pain level: Painless due to local anesthesia
Recovery: Quick, with minimal restrictions


Post-Procedure Care

Simple aftercare for smooth healing:

  • Keep the area dry for 48 hours
  • Clean gently as instructed
  • Apply prescribed antibiotic ointment
  • Avoid strenuous activity for 2–3 days
  • Remove stitches in 7–10 days (if applicable)
