It depends on the size, 1-4 hours.
15 min
15 minutes....depending on the size of the cyst.
It all depends on the size and depth of the cyst. Most smaller skin cysts can be done in office setting and may take 15-30 min. If it is too large to be done in office, it may take an hour in operating room as outpatient procedure. Best to talk to your surgeon for specifics.
From beginning to end it should take no more than a hour. The type of cyst may take less time or more time. I wish you well. oledochouse
That procedure should last about 30 minutes depending on how large the cyst is and exactly where it is located.
