WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE OUR CLINIC
PROFESSIONAL MINOR SURGERY IN A CLINICAL SETTING
Cyst and lipoma removal is carried out in a controlled clinical setting, with careful attention to safety and cleanliness.
COMFORT-FOCUSED CARE UNDER LOCAL ANAESTHETIC
The area is carefully numbed before treatment, helping to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
CAREFUL REMOVAL WITH HEALING IN MIND
We use an appropriate surgical approach based on the type, size, and position of the lump, with healing and recurrence risk always considered.
WHAT ARE CYSTS AND LIPOMAS?
Cysts and lipomas are common, usually harmless lumps that can grow slowly over time. While many don’t cause problems, some can become uncomfortable, infected, painful, or cosmetically concerning. At SML Surgical Care, we provide minor surgical removal of cysts and lipomas in a calm, clinical setting using local anaesthetic — meaning you stay awake, comfortable, and can go home the same day. Our focus is on safe removal, minimal scarring, and a smooth recovery.
