Sebaceous Cyst and Lipoma Removal

Sebaceous cysts and lipomas are common benign growths that occur beneath the skin. Sebaceous cysts are small, non-cancerous lumps filled with a thick, oily substance, while lipomas are soft, fatty lumps that form under the skin. Both conditions are typically harmless, but they can cause discomfort or become aesthetically bothersome. Removal of these growths is a simple, safe procedure to restore comfort and appearance.

Sebaceous cysts and lipomas are usually painless, but if they become infected, inflamed, or larger, they may require removal. At our clinic, we offer safe and effective removal techniques to treat these growths with minimal scarring.

Benefits of Sebaceous Cyst and Lipoma Removal

Removing sebaceous cysts and lipomas provides relief from pain, discomfort, and cosmetic concerns. The procedure helps prevent the recurrence of these growths and ensures that any potential risks, such as infection or inflammation, are minimized.

The removal procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the treatment. Sebaceous cysts are excised, and lipomas are surgically removed from the underlying tissue. The procedure is generally quick, and patients can resume their daily activities within a short recovery period.

How Sebaceous Cyst and Lipoma Removal Works

During the procedure, the area surrounding the cyst or lipoma is numbed with local anesthesia. The growth is carefully excised using a sterile technique to minimize any risk of infection. In the case of a lipoma, the fatty tissue is gently removed, and the incision is closed with sutures. After the removal, the site is dressed, and the patient is given instructions for aftercare to promote healing and prevent complications.
