What are my options for cyst removal?
The method that we recommend for cyst removal is removal by surgical excision. The treatment will generally last around 30 minutes and it is carried out under local anaesthetic. The cost for the removal of one cyst by surgical excision is £375, for the removal of more than one cyst, the treatment cost will be discussed during your consultation.

Who carries out this procedure
What are cysts?
A cyst is a lump under the skin, which can vary in size, shape and contents. The contents of a cyst can be air, fluid or a semi-solid material. A cyst can appear anywhere on the body.
What is included in the Free Consultation?
Your free consultation will be with one of our Surgical Nurses. During the consultation, they will assess your cyst and decide whether it is suitable for treatment. Most consultations are carried out digitally via an Online Consultation. On the day of your procedure, you will also be assessed by the Doctor; this is included in the overall cost of the treatment.
What is included in the cost of the procedure?
- Initial consultation with one of our Surgical Nurses. This can be carried out in the clinic or over the telephone (after submitting an Online Consultation – ideal for patients travelling from a distance or for those who have limited time available).
- Consultation with the Consultant / Doctor on the day of the procedure
- The procedure itself
- 2 week review appointment with one of our Clinical Nurses if required. Many patients do not need a follow-up appointment, but we’re always here if you have questions.
Am I at risk?
A fully qualified Consultant or Doctor will carefully examine your cyst before any treatment commences and also check your medical background. If there is any doubt, you will be referred back to your GP.
We are not able to treat a cyst if there is inflammation or other signs of infection such as a change in skin tone on or around it. In this case we would suggest an appointment with your GP first, in order to begin any treatment required in advance of removal.
How will my cyst be removed?
Your cyst will be removed by surgical excision. The Doctor will inject local anaesthetic into the area of treatment to reduce discomfort. Many of our patients say that the injection is the most uncomfortable part of the treatment. The Doctor will use a scalpel to excise the cyst, leaving a small linear scar roughly the same size as the cyst. The wound will be stitched and a dressing applied if needed. You will be given advice on how to care for the area post treatment.
