A small lump under the skin can be easy to ignore until it becomes painful, infected, or keeps coming back.
If you’ve noticed a swelling that feels like a cyst, it’s natural to feel concerned. The reassuring part? Most cysts are benign and can be treated quickly and effectively.
A 20–40 minute day-care procedure performed by Dr. Rajesh Vasu at Apollo Hospitals, Financial District removes cysts completely and safely, with minimal scarring.
Walk in, walk out with lasting relief.
20–40 minutes
Local only
Same-day discharge
A cyst is a closed sac under the skin, usually filled with fluid, keratin, or pus.
Common types include:
They can occur anywhere, but are most commonly seen on the face, scalp, neck, back, and trunk.
Most cysts are benign but they don’t resolve permanently without proper treatment.
You may need treatment if:
Sometimes, removal is simply about comfort and peace of mind.
Dr. Vasu examines your earlobe, discusses the type of repair, and confirms re-piercing options.
15–20 MIN
A small injection numbs only the earlobe. You’re awake and comfortable throughout.
Torn or stretched edges are precisely aligned and sutured using fine plastic surgery technique to minimise scarring.
You go home the same day. Most patients drive themselves; a companion is welcome but not required.
Dr. Vasu evaluates the swelling and confirms diagnosis.
The area is numbed for a comfortable procedure.
A small incision is made and the entire cyst sac is carefully removed.
Skin is closed with fine sutures. You go home the same day.
” A torn earlobe is small. The scar that replaces it stays visible for years. The difference between one that fades and one that doesn’t is the surgeon.”
Cyst removal may appear simple — but incomplete removal is the most common reason for recurrence.
If the cyst wall is not fully removed, it can come back.
The difference lies in precision.
Because even a small lump deserves the right technique.
Performed in a fully accredited tertiary care hospital — sterile theatre, advanced infection control, hospital-grade safety standards. Not a clinic room.
Performed personally by Dr. Vasu. No technicians, no junior staff, no routing through general practice. Plastic surgery technique applied to every repair, however small.
30+ years of clinical experience. 5,000+ procedures performed. Internationally trained in aesthetic surgery at one of Europe’s most respected institutes.
You may consider cyst removal if:
Early removal is often simpler and reduces the risk of infection or complications.

I’d been hiding my torn earlobes under my hair for nearly a decade. Thirty minutes with Dr. Vasu and they were gone. The scar is honestly invisible. I wish I’d done it years ago.

Calm, surgical, completely judgment-free. I had stretched lobes from old gauges and Dr. Vasu treated it as a serious repair, not a cosmetic afterthought. Healed beautifully.

I went to two dermatologists before I came here. The difference in technique is immediately obvious. This is a plastic surgeon doing a plastic surgeon’s job.

No. It is done under local anaesthesia, so you remain comfortable. Mild soreness afterwards is temporary.
When the entire cyst sac is removed, recurrence is uncommon.
Medicines may reduce inflammation temporarily, but do not remove the cyst completely.
A small scar is expected, but it is placed carefully to remain minimal and less noticeable.
Yes, but sometimes infection is first controlled before definitive removal.
Typically 20–40 minutes.
Most patients resume routine activities the same or next day.
A short consultation helps confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions.
A cyst may seem minor — but removing it can prevent repeated infections, discomfort, and recurrence.
