Cysts under the skin are a common issue but are rarely a health concern. Most are caused by a blocked oil gland or formed from excess keratin production after damage to the skin but are not cancerous or even painful. However, when cysts appear on the face, it can become an aesthetic concern and many people want the cyst removed. While most doctors or dermatologists can remove a cyst, there are some legitimate reasons to seek the skill of a facial plastic surgeon.
Cysts can be removed by either draining or incision. Draining a cyst will flatten the area, but often the cyst will come back. Incision can remove the entire cyst and usually it will not return, but it can also cause a scar. Dermatologists and primary care physicians can perform draining or incision to remove a cyst, but they are not experts in hiding the evidence of the procedure.
Why to Choose a Facial Plastic Surgeon for Cyst Removal
A skilled facial plastic surgeon can carefully remove a facial cyst through incision without causing a noticeable scar. Their knowledge of how to create incisions that can heal without any visible trace is a talent that other doctors usually do not possess. Where the incision is placed, and the technique used can ensure the cyst is permanently removed without leaving a noticeable scar that will blemish the face.
If you have a facial cyst that is causing your embarrassment or discomfort, but you are concerned about scarring from removal, seek the advice of an experienced facial plastic surgeon that offers cyst removal. They can examine your cyst and give you options, including surgery, to permanently rid you face of your cyst.
