Yes. Minor surgery under local anaesthetic is very safe when performed by experienced clinicians. As with any procedure, small risks such as bleeding, infection or scarring can occur — these will be fully discussed beforehand.

Most patients report minimal discomfort. Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area. You may feel pressure but not sharp pain.

Most procedures take 15–30 minutes. We ask patients to remain for 10 minutes of observation afterwards.
Most patients resume normal activities the same day or within 24 hours, depending on the procedure.
Any procedure that breaks the skin will leave a small scar. However, we use techniques to minimise scarring. Scars usually fade significantly over time.
Histology results typically take up to 6 weeks. You will be contacted when results arrive. A copy can be sent to your GP (with consent). No extra charge to discuss results.
No referral is required. You can book a GP appointment, or complete our Free Assessment Request.

Today I had a sebaceous cyst removed from my face by Dr. Ayaz Tokhi. Both he and his nurse made me feel totally confident and relaxed. I had no pain and he skillfully carried out the procedure, talking to me all the time how it was progressing. I cannot thank them both enough for the superb treatment and at a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend his excellent services to appraise and carry out minor surgery to anyone who has a concern with unwanted lesions on their body. Thank you

Brilliant experience for cyst removal, clean welcoming clinic with friendly staff. I had a consultation and removal on the same day with Dr Ayaz Tokhi, the surgery was extremely fast and painless, and the outcome was successful. The NHS had quoted around a 2 year wait for this procedure, and other private clinics had quoted nearly double the price. So I was extremely happy with my decision to go to the MMS Clinic. Great experience, very highly recommend thank you ❤️
