Expert Lipoma and Cyst Removal Surgery in Barrackpore
Lumps and bumps under the skin are extremely common. While most are completely harmless, they can grow large, become painful when pressed against nerves or clothing, or cause significant cosmetic concern. The most common types include:
- Lipomas: Soft, doughy, slow-growing lumps of fat situated between your skin and the underlying muscle layer. They are benign (non-cancerous).
- Sebaceous Cysts (Epidermoid Cysts): Firm, fluid-filled sacs that develop beneath the skin. They can sometimes become infected, inflamed, and painful, requiring urgent surgical drainage and removal.
- Skin Lesions: Moles, skin tags, or unusual patches of skin that may be growing, changing color, or bleeding. These require careful excision and laboratory biopsy to rule out skin cancer.
Attempting to "pop" or drain these at home can lead to severe infections and scarring. Professional cyst removal surgery in Barrackpore ensures the entire capsule of the cyst or lipoma is removed, preventing it from ever growing back.

Rapid Day-Care Procedure
These excisions are usually completed in 30 to 45 minutes. You walk in, have the procedure done safely, and walk out the same day.
How is the Excision Procedure Performed?
The procedure is safe, fast, and virtually painless when performed by an expert:
- Local Anesthesia: The area around the lump is injected with a local anesthetic. You remain fully awake, but the area will be completely numb.
- Incision & Extraction: A small, precise cut is made over the lump. Dr. Mukherjee carefully separates the lipoma or the entire cyst wall (the capsule) from the surrounding healthy tissue. Leaving the capsule behind causes recurrence, so complete extraction is vital.
- Closure: The small wound is closed using fine surgical stitches and covered with a sterile dressing.
- Recovery: You can drive home immediately after the procedure and resume normal activities the next day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my lipoma or cyst grow back after surgery?
If the entire fat mass or the complete cyst sac (capsule) is surgically removed, it is highly unlikely to grow back in the exact same spot. This is why professional excision by the best lipoma surgeon in Barrackpore is vastly superior to simply draining it with a needle.
Does the procedure hurt?
No. You will feel a small prick from the local anesthetic injection. After that, the area is completely numb. You might feel a slight pulling sensation during the procedure, but absolutely no sharp pain.
Are lipomas a form of cancer?
No, lipomas are benign (non-cancerous) growths of fat cells. However, because they can sometimes be confused with a rare cancer called liposarcoma, any new, rapidly growing, or painful lump should be professionally evaluated and removed for biopsy.
