Lump & cyst removal

Surgical removal of a lump or cyst, either for symptom relief or to rule out anything concerning.

When this is typically needed

  • A new or growing lump under the skin
  • Discomfort or irritation from the lump
  • A lump that's changed in size or texture

What it involves

A minor procedure, often under local anesthesia, to remove the lump — sometimes sent for lab analysis afterward.

What to expect

Most lump removals are done as day procedures with minimal recovery time.
