"Attended on Christmas Eve for a consultation with Dr Kazem Nassar and subsequent multiple raised moles removal from face. Received really good information and assurance prior to attending , the procedure went smoothly and relatively pain free and also received good verbal and written advice regarding wound care . Stitch removal was pain free and all wounds appear to be healing well with good advice going forward to minimise scarring ! Wish I had done this years ago ! Hospital was easy to get to , small , quiet , ample parking , teas and coffees for patients and anyone waiting and friendly staff ."

"From my first contact with Waterfront Private Hospital to walking out the door after the procedure, I received exceptional care. All staff I encountered were professional and approachable especially Dr Nassar who undertook the procedure. He explained what would happen, the risks and how to manage the wound at home. This resulted in a stress free procedure for which I was grateful."

"The hospital was lovely and clean. The doctor who did the cyst removal on my head was very well informed, told me everything about getting it done. Excelled customer service and care. The procedure itself along with a consultation took just under an hour so it was very quick and relatively painless, the doctor took time and care to take the cyst out. Nurse was lovely and friendly, I felt very at ease. I would recommend this hospital and if I need anything else done I will go here in the future."

I was also under no pressure to go ahead with the procedure. Dr Kazem Nassar was amazing. Throughout my procedure I was very nervous and the Nurse kept me calm and chatted to me all the way through. I would definitely recommend The Waterfront Private Hospital."

Cyst Treatment Options

We provide a range of treatment options for sebaceous cysts, tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Our approach ensures both symptom relief and attention to cosmetic concerns.

  • Observation

    For small, symptom-free cysts, we may recommend monitoring for any changes rather than immediate treatment.

  • Incision and Drainage

    This procedure offers quick relief for painful, swollen cysts by draining the contents. However, as the cyst sac remains, there's a higher chance of recurrence.

  • Surgical Excision

    For a more permanent solution, the entire cyst, including its sac, is surgically removed, greatly reducing the likelihood of recurrence. This is performed under local anaesthesia.

  • Antibiotics

    If the cyst is infected, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the infection, although this won’t remove the cyst itself.

We ensure patients are fully informed and involved in choosing the best treatment option, taking into account factors like the cyst’s size, location, and the patient’s preferences. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to support proper healing and patient satisfaction.

Excision is the most effective option to completely remove the cyst sac and prevent recurrence.
