Cyst & Lipoma Removal for Men
Expert surgical removal of cysts, lipomas, and subcutaneous lumps. Our board-certified surgeons use minimally invasive techniques for clean results and fast recovery.
What Are Cysts and Lipomas?
Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form under the skin, often appearing as firm, round bumps. Sebaceous cysts and epidermoid cysts are the most common types in men. Lipomas are soft, fatty lumps that grow slowly beneath the skin surface. Both are almost always benign but can become painful, infected, or cosmetically bothersome if left untreated. Surgical excision is the gold standard for permanent removal with minimal recurrence risk.

Before Your Procedure
No special preparation needed for most cases. Your surgeon will examine the lump, confirm suitability for removal, and explain the technique. Blood thinners should be paused 48 hours before (with doctor approval).
During the Procedure
Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area. The surgeon makes a small incision, removes the cyst or lipoma completely with its capsule, and closes with fine sutures. Most procedures take 15 to 30 minutes.
Recovery & Aftercare
Return to daily activities within 24 to 48 hours. Keep the wound clean and dry. Sutures are removed after 7 to 10 days. The tissue sample is sent for histopathology, with results typically available within one week.

Same-Day Procedure
Walk in, get assessed, and have your cyst or lipoma removed in a single visit. No hospital stay required. Most patients are done within an hour of arrival.
Histopathology Included
Every removed tissue is sent for laboratory analysis. You receive a pathology report confirming the diagnosis, giving you complete peace of mind.
Minimal Scarring
Our surgeons use fine suturing techniques and strategic incision placement to minimize visible scarring. Most scars fade significantly within 3 to 6 months.
Low Recurrence Rate
Complete excision with the capsule intact means very low recurrence rates. Unlike drainage alone, full removal addresses the root cause permanently.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cyst & Lipoma Removal
What is the difference between a cyst and a lipoma?
A cyst is a closed sac filled with fluid, pus, or semi-solid material. It often feels firm and can become tender or infected. A lipoma is a soft, rubbery lump made of fat cells. It moves easily under the skin and is almost always painless. Both are benign, but a doctor should evaluate any new or changing lump.
Is cyst removal painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will feel pressure but not pain during the removal. Mild soreness is normal for a few days afterward and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does the procedure take?
Most cyst and lipoma removals take 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size and location. Larger or deeper lipomas may require up to 45 minutes. You can return home the same day.
Will the cyst or lipoma come back after removal?
When the entire capsule is removed (complete excision), recurrence rates are very low, typically under 5%. Incomplete removal or drainage without excision carries a higher chance of regrowth.
When should I see a doctor about a lump?
See a doctor if a lump is growing, painful, red, warm to the touch, or has been present for more than two weeks. Any lump that changes rapidly or feels hard and immovable should be evaluated promptly to rule out other conditions.
How much does cyst or lipoma removal cost at Menscape?
Pricing depends on the size, number, and location of the lumps. A consultation with one of our surgeons will give you an accurate quote. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
Can multiple cysts or lipomas be removed in one session?
Yes, in most cases multiple lumps can be removed during a single visit. Your surgeon will assess whether it is safe and practical to address all of them at once based on their size and location.
