Skin, Soft Tissue Cyst & Lesion Removal

Skin, soft tissue cyst & lesion removal

Dr. Brown performs these procedures, most often as outpatient (same-day) surgery:

• Cyst removal: removing a cyst that has formed in or under the skin.
• Soft tissue lump removal: removing a lump under the skin, such as a fatty lump (lipoma).
• Skin lesion removal: removing a growth or spot on the skin. Removed tissue is sent to a pathologist when it needs to be examined.

Most of these procedures are done with local numbing medicine. Dr. Brown will review your symptoms and imaging at your consultation and discuss which surgical approach fits you best.
