Cysts

These fluid-filled sacs can form under the skin and may vary in size, commonly seen on the scalp. Treatment usually involves a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthesia to remove the cyst and prevent recurrence. Understanding the difference between cysts and inflamed acne treatment on the face can be helpful, as it focuses on addressing concerns such as cystic acne, which can be managed by avoiding surgery. When surgery is recommended there are a number of approaches our team of plastic surgeons can use to minimise scarring and maximise recurrence prevention.

Lipomas

These benign fatty growths are typically soft and movable. They are generally removed through a straightforward local anaesthetic surgical procedure, especially if they cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. Our team of plastic surgeons know how best to remove lipomas through the smallest incision possible.

Moles can be benign but may occasionally require removal, especially if they change in appearance.

Breast Cysts

Breast cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop in breast tissue. While many cysts resolve on their own, regular monitoring and consultations with a healthcare professional are essential for assessing the cysts and determining the best course of action.

Eliminating Milia

Milia are small, white cysts that typically appear on the face, especially around the eyes. Professional treatments such as extraction by a plastic surgeon, can also be beneficial in promoting skin cell turnover and clearing milia.

Ingrown Pubic Hair

Ingrown hairs occur when a hair grows back into the skin, leading to inflammation and discomfort. When hairs are cut at an angle, they may grow back into the skin, resulting in both ingrown hairs and razor bumps.

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer can manifest as various skin lesions, which may vary depending on the types of skin cancer involved. Skin cancer on the face can often be more challenging due to exposure to environmental factors. There are different kinds of skin cancer, such as those affecting specific regions like the face. Understanding the types of skin carcinoma is essential for early diagnosis and effective treatment.

Warts

Warts on the hands or feet can be troublesome to treat and resistant to over the counter medication. Surgery can provide a permanent solution to these skin problems

Treatment and Aftercare

After undergoing treatment for skin lumps and bumps, following the appropriate aftercare is crucial to ensure proper healing and minimise complications.

1

Follow-Up Appointments

Regular follow-up visits may be required to monitor the healing process and ensure there isn’t any uncertainty regarding the tissue removed during surgery. It will be sent for laboratory analysis to rule out malignancy. You may have a follow-up appointment arranged to discuss the results of the biopsy.

2

Wound Care

Keep the treated area clean and dry. Follow your specialist’s instructions on how to care for the wound to prevent infection.

3

Activity Restrictions

Avoid strenuous activities and follow any specific restrictions provided by your healthcare provider to allow your body to heal properly.

4

Scarring

Our on site pharmacy stocks all the essential and recommended scar reduction treatments to optimise any cosmetic outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to do before surgery?

Before your procedure, you may need to complete certain preparatory steps, such as avoiding specific medications or following pre-surgery instructions given by your healthcare provider. It is essential to discuss these details during your consultation.

When can I return to normal activity levels?

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure and individual factors. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, but you should follow your doctor’s advice on when it is safe to return to regular activities.

When can I go back to work?

The time needed to return to work will depend on the type of treatment and your overall recovery. For minor procedures, you might be able to return to work within days, whereas more extensive surgeries may require a longer recovery period.

How long does the procedure take?

The duration of the procedure varies based on the complexity and type of treatment. Simple cyst removals or mole extractions may take less than an hour, while more extensive surgeries could take longer.

Will it be painful?

Our surgeons are experts in minimising discomfort in local anaesthetic surgery. After the initial scratch-like discomfort from the anaesthetic, you will experience complete numbness lasting for 2 to 6 hours. Our on site pharmacy provides necessary pain relief medication for your recovery period.

Will I need the stitches to be removed?

Our plastic surgeons typically use dissolvable stitches, eliminating the need for suture removal. However, if non-dissolvable sutures are required, our nurses are available to remove them, usually within 5 to 7 days after the procedure.

Can skin lesion removal result in scarring?

While we use advanced techniques to minimise scarring, some degree of scarring may be unavoidable. Our team will provide you with post-treatment care instructions to help manage and reduce any potential scarring.
