Facial Cyst Removal - Short Procedure with No Subsequent Pain.

I had a cyst in my cheek that was large and growing. I didn’t know where to start with having it removed and had previously had it dismissed by my NHS GP. I was recommended to see Dr Peter Hodgkinson at Cobalt Hospital. Dr Hodgkinson made clear to me that it would be important to remove the cyst and helped me understand what it would involve.
Appointments were offered to me quickly and my surgery appointment was prompt.
I had all my questions answered and I was well informed.
I went in as a day patient. The whole team helped to reassure me, inform me and answer questions. I was put under general anaesthetic as it was a large cyst and the operation would take 40 mins on my face. The anaesthetists were brilliant, friendly and great at what they do. I suffered no sickness or confusion as a result.
When I woke up I was in no pain and have suffered no pain at all since either. This can only be a result or the accuracy and care taken by Dr Hodgkinson in removing the cyst.
I left with a clear glue/skin over my face and had some swelling from where the local anaesthetic had been injected and a little bit of bruising. The blue pen from pre surgery marking remained. It took approximately a week for all of this to reduce. In two weeks it is now a very small area of glue and a wound area.
I can’t thank the team enough for what they have done and the care I received. Dr Peter Hodgkinson is a very accurate surgeon and I was lucky to be able to have my surgery performed by him.
