Minor Surgery for Skin Lumps in Cardiff
Cyst & Lipoma Removal Under Local Anaesthetic
Private Minor Surgery in Cardiff
Do you have a cyst, lipoma, mole or other skin lump that you would like removed?
Many benign skin lesions are not treated on the NHS, or patients face waiting lists of many months — sometimes years.
At Excel Clinic, we provide private minor surgery in Cardiff with fast access, consultant assessment and same-day treatment where appropriate. Our one-stop service allows you to move from assessment to removal quickly, safely and affordably.
Most procedures are completed in under one hour, under local anaesthetic, with minimal downtime.
What Is Minor Surgery?
Minor surgery involves simple surgical procedures performed under local anaesthetic to remove benign (non-cancerous) skin lumps and lesions, such as cysts and lipomas.
Procedures are typically completed in under one hour, do not require a hospital stay, and allow for a quick recovery.
What Happens During Minor Surgery?
Minor surgery at Excel Clinic is designed to be straightforward and comfortable:
Assessment: Your surgeon examines the lesion and confirms suitability for removal.
Local anaesthetic: The area is numbed so you remain awake but feel no pain.
Removal: The lesion is carefully removed using precise surgical technique.
Closure: The wound is closed neatly, often with sutures, to support good healing.
Aftercare: You’ll receive clear aftercare advice and follow-up if required.
Most patients are able to go home shortly afterwards and resume normal activities within a short period.

Cysts

Patient Reviews
I had a 4cm lipoma removed from my scalp. I filled out the online form on a Monday afternoon and had the procedure done the following evening. Excellent service and minimal scarring. I would highly recommend Excel Clinic to have any lipomas or cysts removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Minor surgery is a group of straightforward procedures performed under local anaesthetic to remove benign skin lumps and lesions such as cysts, lipomas and skin tags. Most procedures take under an hour and involve a short recovery.
No. You do not need a GP referral. You can book directly with Excel Clinic and upload photos of your lesion for review.
Yes. All minor surgery at Excel Clinic is carried out under local anaesthetic, meaning you remain awake but the area being treated is fully numbed.
Most procedures take 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the lesion. You can usually go home shortly afterwards.
Many patients return to desk-based work the same day or the next day. For more physical roles, your surgeon will advise if a short period of rest is needed.
We treat most cysts and lipomas, including larger lesions. Very large or complex cases are assessed individually, and suitability and pricing are discussed in advance.
In some cases, tissue may be sent for histological analysis to confirm the diagnosis. This will be discussed with you during your appointment.
Our clinic is based in Cardiff, and we regularly treat patients from Swansea, Bridgend, Newport, and across South Wales, as well as Bristol and the South West.
Many patients travel from across South Wales for our one-stop service, which often allows assessment and treatment in a single visit, reducing repeat appointments and time off work.
You’ll receive clear written aftercare instructions, and we provide dedicated post-procedure support, including direct WhatsApp access, should you have any concerns after surgery.
Simply complete our online booking form and upload photos of your lesion. Our team will review your details and contact you to arrange your appointment.
Some procedures may be suitable for children. Please contact us to discuss suitability and options.
