Cyst Excision in Beverly Hills
Cysts on the body, scalp, and face are common, benign growths. Draining a cyst brings temporary relief, but the cyst reliably comes back, because the sac that produces it is still there. Excision removes the entire cyst wall along with its contents, which is the only approach that actually resolves it for good. At Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills, our Board-Certified, Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists perform cyst excision as a straightforward, same-visit procedure.
Why Excision, Not Just Drainage
A cyst is more than the fluid or keratin inside it. Key considerations include:
- The cyst wall, or sac, is what continues to produce material and cause recurrence if left behind
- Draining alone empties the cyst but leaves the sac intact
- Inflamed or infected cysts are sometimes drained first to calm the area before definitive excision
- Complete excision offers the only permanent resolution
What to Expect
Cyst excision is performed under local anesthesia in the office. The procedure includes:
- A small incision to access and remove the entire cyst sac
- Sutures to close the incision, typically removed within one to two weeks
- Straightforward aftercare with minimal downtime
Timing Matters
An inflamed or actively infected cyst often heals more cleanly if it’s calmed down first, sometimes with a short course of antibiotics or a drainage procedure, before the sac is fully excised. Our physicians will let you know whether your cyst is ready for definitive removal now or whether a short interim step will give you a better cosmetic result.
Are You a Candidate?
Any patient with a cyst that keeps recurring, has become bothersome, or has been drained before without lasting resolution is a candidate for excision. Schedule a consultation at our Beverly Hills practice to have it removed for good.
