What Can I Expect During my Cyst Removal Procedure?
After consultation and determining whether it is appropriate to remove, the cyst removal procedure can be conducted. The treatment starts with a numbing agent to desensitize the treatment area, ensuring minimal pain and maximum comfort throughout the procedure. Once numb, the lump can either be punctured and drained or cut out with a small incision.
How Lengthy and Extensive is the Recovery Process?
Recovery is simple for cyst removal. The treatment is nonsurgical and minimally invasive, allowing for quick recovery and an immediate return to continue your daily routine. If a wound is apparent, gauze may be placed in it, or a bandage may be wrapped around it to ensure comfort and healing. Antibiotics or pain medicine may also be prescribed in some cases.
