Removal of Cysts
Cyst Removal: A Complete Guide to Safe and Effective Solutions
Cysts can develop under the skin and, while usually harmless, may cause discomfort, aesthetic concerns, or sometimes infection. Surgical removal is the most reliable approach to ensure the cyst does not reoccur and to achieve optimal cosmetic results. Our aim is to guide you through the essentials of cyst removal, providing clear, practical information you can trust.
Candidate Suitability
- Individuals with bothersome or enlarging cysts: If the cyst is causing discomfort, irritation, or concern, surgical removal may be recommended.
- Those experiencing rapid changes: Sudden growth, pain, or redness of the cyst may prompt medical review and consideration for removal.
- Patients seeking aesthetic improvement: If the appearance of the cyst is affecting your confidence or daily life, removal can offer a positive change.
- People with recurrent or infected cysts: Repeated issues with the same cyst location often respond best to surgical removal.
- Anyone after a clinical assessment: Diagnosis and suitability are confirmed during a professional medical consultation.
Procedure Options and Techniques
- Surgical Excision is the Preferred Technique: The cyst and its capsule are precisely removed using a small incision under local anaesthetic, minimizing recurrence risk and optimizing cosmetic outcomes.
- Minimal Tissue Disruption: The surrounding tissue is protected during excision, resulting in a clean removal and excellent healing.
- Local Anaesthetic for Patient Comfort: The procedure is performed comfortably in a minor operations setting, with reassurance throughout.
- Closure and Scar Management: Fine stitches are used to close the skin, and tailored advice given to minimize scarring.
- Histological Analysis (when necessary): Removed cysts may be sent for laboratory analysis if advised by the surgeon.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Return to Daily Activities: You can expect to resume normal activities soon after the procedure, based on the cyst’s location.
- Exercise Limitations: Advice is personalized depending on which area of the body is treated; ease back into activities as per guidance.
- Scar Care Recommendations: Simple tips for wound care and scar management help ensure optimal healing.
Cyst removal is a safe and effective procedure that offers long-term resolution and improved comfort. With expert care, you can expect a straightforward recovery and positive outcome.

I originally visited Dr Askouni 3 years ago, requesting her help regarding a failed surgery I had with another very well-known plastic surgeon in Greece (unsuccessful removal of moles from scalp and back which resulted in infected wounds and keloid hypertrophic scars). She came across extremely knowledgeable, friendly and provided a thorough explanation of my post-surgery condition and how it could be treated. Unlike other surgeons, she accepted to take over the reconstructive surgery and I was utterly pleased with the outcome. She is methodical, approachable, caring to the patient and extremely skilled. Post this surgery, Dr Askouni has treated me and my husband for skin papillomas, following the best technique and methodology so we were left with no dark spots. She also performed further mole removal without stitching up the wounds. This was hassle free for me as a patient; the wound healed incredibly well leaving no marks. She has been performing regular mesotherapy treatments on my face with great success too! Dr Askouni is the epitome of a very professional yet down to earth and humane doctor. I cannot thank her enough for her expertise and attentiveness.

Excellent doctor and kind staff. I visited the doctor to remove papillomas in the neck area with a scalpel. The removal was done with local anesthesia quickly and painlessly and most importantly without leaving any marks!!

I was completely satisfied with Ms. Evita. She was very experienced. She was very formal with the Covid-19 safety measures for the visit and like a professional. I visited her for mole removal. Before we started she informed me in detail about the removal method and the marks they would leave afterwards. The operation was completely painless and comfortable as Ms. Evita confirmed whether the anesthetic had worked before each removal. She explained all her steps during the operation and at the end she showed me the result. I was impressed by the interest she showed me as a customer as after 1 week she called me to check on the status of my stitches. I highly recommend her!

End of 2020 I removed 4 lipomas that I had on my head for over 20 years. Excellent professional, kind and easy going. During the surgery she explained the steps that would follow and that made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend her!
