About this service

Expert Cyst Removal Stirling and Falkirk

Sebaceous cysts are non-cancerous, slow-developing lumps caused by blocked oil glands. They commonly form on the face, neck, back, or chest and are usually painless, though some may discharge a thick, unpleasant-smelling material.

Learn more about cysts in our detailed guide on cyst removal.

At our Edinburgh clinic, we offer consultant-led cyst removal with a focus on precision, safety, and minimal scarring. We regularly welcome patients from Stirling, Falkirk, and nearby areas seeking timely access to expert treatment.

Treatment methods

Cyst Treatment Options

We provide specialist private treatment for sebaceous cysts, serving Stirling and Forth Valley patients from our Edinburgh-based clinic. Our expert-led approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring precise removal with a focus on achieving the best cosmetic results.

We ensure patients are fully informed and involved in choosing the best treatment option, taking into account factors like the cyst’s size, location, and the patient’s preferences. Learn more about various cyst treatment options in our comprehensive guide on cysts. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to support proper healing and patient satisfaction.

Observation. For small, symptom-free cysts, we may recommend monitoring for any changes rather than immediate treatment.

Incision and Drainage. This procedure offers quick relief for painful, swollen cysts by draining the contents. However, as the cyst sac remains, there's a higher chance of recurrence.

Surgical Excision. For a more permanent solution, the entire cyst, including its sac, is surgically removed, greatly reducing the likelihood of recurrence. This is performed under local anaesthesia.

Antibiotics. If the cyst is infected, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the infection, although this won’t remove the cyst itself.
