Walk in with it, leave without it. Your cyst is assessed and, where clinically appropriate, removed in a single visit by a plastic surgeon at a regulated clinic with your price fixed in writing at consultation.
From start to finish was impressed by the whole procedure with the information provided before during and when finished would highly recommend Canova Medical had a cyst removed and was surprised at the painless procedure. Glad we have a clinic locally Waterloo/ Crosby.Posted on Google
Dr Pratap Dutta has quite literally given me my confidence back. A seamless, stress free experience of having a cyst removed. I could not recommend him enough.Posted on Google
Great service. Appointment was easy to arrange - saw the doctor and had the procedure to remove a cyst carried out immediately after. Can’t be faulted.Posted on Google
Fantastic service. Called to make a booking on the Friday, went in the next day for the procedure, consultation and cyst removal. The staff were great, friendly and clearly explained the process to me. Answered any questions I had and had a very calm, knowledgeable approach to the whole experience. Pricewise, I’ve struggled to find better. Very pleased, and would recommend. If you’re looking at getting anything removed for cosmetic reasons, this is the place to goPosted on Google

Many clinics see you and then send you elsewhere to be treated. We run consultation and procedure on one pathway wherever it's clinically appropriate because our clinics are surgeon-staffed and our procedure rooms are on site.
If your surgeon recommends removal and you're happy to proceed, it's a complete excision of the whole sac, under local anaesthetic.
Your surgeon examines the cyst, confirms the treatment plan and gives a fixed quotation.
Proceed, book for later or simply take a specialist opinion. It's your choice.
We are one of the few cyst removal specialists in the country
We explain how to care for the area and what to expect, with complimentary aftercare available if needed
Skin cysts are common, benign sacs beneath the skin but they rarely disappear on their own and squeezing or partial removal usually just brings them back.
Epidermoid and sebaceous cysts are sacs filled with keratin, most common on the face, neck, torso and back; pilar cysts form on the scalp. They're usually harmless, but can grow, become inflamed or infected, or catch on clothing.
The key to a permanent result is removing the entire sac, not just draining the contents. Drainage leaves the sac wall behind and the cyst typically refills. Our surgeons excise the cyst whole wherever possible and close with fine sutures for the best cosmetic result.
The whole cyst is removed to minimise the chance of recurrence.
Incisions along natural skin lines, removal of the sac and closed with fine sutures for the most discreet removal.
If your cyst is currently infected, your surgeon will advise the right sequence of treatment.
Your surgeon recommends the right approach based on the cyst's type, size, site and whether it's currently inflamed.
The whole cyst, including its sac is removed under local anaesthetic and the wound closed with fine sutures. This is the definitive treatment that minimises recurrence.
If a cyst is acutely infected, drainage can give quick relief, with complete excision planned once it has settled for a better surgical and cosmetic result.
Your consultation is normally with the surgeon who would perform your procedure. If you proceed with us, you don't pay twice and the price you're quoted is the price you pay, confirmed in writing with no hidden extras and no upselling.
Your surgeon recommends removal, you're happy to go ahead and it's done in the same visit.
You'd rather think it over or pick a date that suits you. Your consultation fee follows you.
You want a specialist opinion with no obligation. You'll leave with a diagnosis and a treatment plan if required.
Complete excision of the cyst with its sac. This is the definitive treatment that minimises recurrence.
A quick procedure under local anaesthetic to drain the cyst and relieve discomfort.
Fixed quotation at consultation. Final fees depend on the size, number, site and complexity of the cyst and are confirmed in writing before any treatment.
Because the work is done by GMC-registered surgeons, we back it:
For your peace of mind follow-up appointment aren't charged.
Every procedure is performed by a GMC-registered surgeon, with your price fixed in writing before treatment with no upselling.
Often in a single visit, where suitable. Our clinics are surgeon-staffed with procedure rooms on site, so where your surgeon assesses the cyst as suitable and you're happy to proceed, it can usually be removed in the same visit. Infected cysts are sometimes better treated in two steps.
Your price is confirmed in writing at your consultation and depends on the size, site and type of cyst. Complete surgical excision of the sac is the definitive treatment, with incision and drainage available first for relief. The consultation fee is waived if you proceed, or later deducted.
Recurrence is uncommon when the cyst is excised completely with its sac; our standard technique. Cysts that recur have usually been drained or only partially removed elsewhere.
Only the initial local anaesthetic injection stings briefly. Once numb you'll feel pressure but no pain, and simple painkillers are usually enough afterwards.
Come in anyway. Infected cysts still need specialist assessment. Sometimes the right course is to settle the infection first and excise the cyst once it's calmed, for a better result.
Like our inspiration Antonio Canova, we keep artistry and beauty in mind with our work and shall keep you informed each step of the way.
