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.
