Minor surgeries are small medical procedures to remove or treat growths on the skin or just below the surface.
At Modern Practitioners Health and Beauty Clinic, these procedures are designed to address common concerns, such as lipomas and cysts, safely and effectively, allowing you to return to your daily life with minimal disruption.
What can be treated with minor surgery?
Some of the most common conditions treated include:
- Lipomas: Soft, fatty lumps that grow beneath the skin
- Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that may become painful or infected
- Skin lesions: Small growths that require removal for comfort or cosmetic reasons
- Other small lumps and bumps: These can be assessed and treated where needed
How does the procedure work?
Each procedure is performed in a sterile environment using a local anaesthetic. This means you will remain awake, but the area will be completely numb to reduce discomfort. The growth is carefully removed, and the site is then closed and dressed. Most procedures take less than an hour, and you can usually return home the same day.
What should you expect afterwards?
Recovery is generally straightforward. You may experience mild tenderness or swelling in the treated area, but this usually settles within a few days. You will receive clear aftercare instructions to help with healing and reduce the chance of infection.
Practical steps often include:
- Keeping the wound clean and dry
- Returning for follow-up if stitches need removal
- Watching for signs of redness or swelling
- Using mild pain relief if needed
When should you consider minor surgery?
You may benefit from a consultation if you have a lump or growth that is:
- Increasing in size
- Causing pain or discomfort
- Becoming infected repeatedly
- Affecting your appearance or movement
It is always advisable to have any lump checked by a medical professional to confirm what it is and decide if removal is the best option.
