Treated by Dr. P. Prakash at Dr P Prakash
Cysts and lipomas are common benign growths that appear beneath the skin, with cysts being fluid-filled sacs and lipomas being soft fatty tissue tumors. In Hyderabad, these conditions affect many individuals seeking cosmetic improvement or relief from discomfort. Dr P Prakash specializes in the safe surgical removal of cysts and lipomas using advanced plastic surgery techniques.
Benign cysts formed from trapped skin cells beneath the surface, containing keratin protein. Common on face, neck, and trunk with a characteristic central punctum.
Fluid-filled sacs originating from blocked sebaceous glands that produce oils. Often have a pungent odor and can become inflamed or infected if ruptured.
Soft, movable fatty tissue tumors that grow slowly beneath the skin. Typically painless and doughy to touch, most commonly found on neck, shoulders, back, and arms.
Multiple factors can contribute to the development and progression of this condition.
Cysts & Lipomas develops gradually. Recognising symptoms early gives you more treatment options.

What to expect at each phase of recovery.
Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort at the surgical site managed with prescribed medications. Wound care with dressing changes and activity restrictions to promote healing.
Suture removal typically occurs within 7-14 days depending on location. Gradual return to normal activities with continued wound protection and avoidance of strenuous exercise.
Incision sites mature and scars fade progressively. Full return to all activities including exercise. Scar massage and sun protection optimize final cosmetic appearance.
Successful excision of the entire cyst or lipoma including capsule, preventing recurrence and providing definitive treatment with histopathological confirmation.
Minimal visible scarring achieved through plastic surgery expertise, strategic incision placement, and meticulous closure techniques for natural-appearing outcomes.
Elimination of pain, discomfort, cosmetic concerns, and functional limitations caused by the growth, significantly improving quality of life and confidence.
Complete surgical removal with intact capsule minimizes the risk of recurrence, providing long-lasting results when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.
Untreated cysts and lipomas typically continue to grow slowly over time, potentially causing increased cosmetic concerns, discomfort, and functional impairment. Cysts may become infected, rupture, or develop painful inflammation requiring emergency intervention. While rarely becoming malignant, any rapidly growing or changing mass should be evaluated and removed for proper diagnosis.
Consult Dr P Prakash if you notice any new lumps or bumps beneath the skin, especially if they are growing, causing pain, becoming inflamed, or affecting your appearance and confidence. Immediate evaluation is recommended for rapidly enlarging masses, signs of infection including redness and drainage, or any changes in skin color or texture over the growth.
Early treatment means more options and better outcomes. Book a consultation to understand your condition and explore the right path forward.
