Torn or stretched earlobes are often caused by wearing heavy earrings, accidental trauma, or intentional stretching (gauging).
Cysts are common skin concerns that can occur due to blocked pores, infections, or genetic factors. While many cysts are harmless, they can be uncomfortable, unsightly, or prone to infection, making removal a preferred option for many individuals. At Skin World,we offer professional and safe cyst excision services to remove cysts effectively with minimal scarring.
General Introduction to Cyst ExcisionCyst excision is a minor surgical procedure used to remove various types of cysts from the skin. This treatment is ideal for those dealing with sebaceous cysts, epidermoid cysts, or other types of non-cancerous growths. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and involves carefully excising the cyst along with its sac to prevent recurrence.
What is Cyst Excision?Cyst excision involves making a small incision over the cyst, allowing the dermatologist to remove the cyst along with the sac that contains it. This technique ensures that the cyst is fully removed and reduces the risk of recurrence. The area is then stitched up, and a small scar may remain, which typically fades over time.
Why Choose Cyst Excision?Cyst excision is a preferred option for those looking to remove cysts due to discomfort, cosmetic reasons, or the risk of infection. The procedure is quick, effective, and provides long-term results, as the entire cyst and its sac are removed, significantly reducing the likelihood of it returning.
Key Benefits of Cyst ExcisionCyst excision is suitable for individuals with cysts that are causing discomfort, cosmetic concerns, or have shown signs of infection. It’s a safe procedure for most skin types and ages. A consultation at Skin Worldwill help determine if cyst excision is the right treatment for your specific situation.
Torn or stretched earlobes are often caused by wearing heavy earrings, accidental trauma, or intentional stretching (gauging).
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should feel minimal discomfort during the excision. Mild soreness or tenderness may occur after the procedure but is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Cyst excision typically takes less than an hour, depending on the size and location of the cyst.
A small scar may remain after the procedure, but our skilled dermatologists take care to minimize scarring through precise surgical techniques. The scar usually fades over time.
Recovery is quick, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately. Stitches are usually removed after about a week, and full healing occurs within a few weeks.
When performed correctly, cyst excision removes the entire cyst and its sac, significantly reducing the risk of recurrence. However, new cysts can form in other areas.
Coverage for cyst excision depends on whether the procedure is deemed medically necessary. It’s best to consult with your insurance provider and discuss your options during your consultation at Skin World.
Keep the area clean and dry, follow your dermatologist’s instructions on wound care, and avoid strenuous activities that might stress the incision site during healing.
