1-1. A simple surgical procedure can cure a cyst
-Fusin incision method
This method involves making a spindle-shaped incision in the skin directly above the cyst, removing the cyst, and suturing it.
Advantages: Large size can be treated. High chance of complete removal and low recurrence rate.
Disadvantages: A scar the length of the diameter of the cyst will remain.
Hollowing method
This involves making a small round hole in the skin and pulling the cyst out through it.
Advantages: The scars left after treatment are small. For facial cysts, this may be a good option to try first, but depending on the location and size, the spindle resection method may be less noticeable.
Disadvantages: It is necessary to remove the cyst including its small exit, but in some cases the exit is difficult to find. Another disadvantage is that the doctor may not notice if part of the cyst remains because the cyst is removed through a small hole. If even a small part of the cyst remains, the cyst will recur.
In plastic surgery, new doctors first learn how to operate on cysts. These two surgical methods have been around for over 30-40 years. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and neither is better than the other. They take roughly the same amount of time. It's best to leave it to the doctor.
