Removal of Lumps, Bumps, Lipomas, Lesions and Sebaceous Cysts - Excision and Cutting

MUMS Private GPs have specialist extended roles in dermatology and minor surgery.

Lumps, Bumps, Lipomas, Sebaceous Cysts, and lesions – assessment and removal costs:

• Assessment £150
• Removal £400

Excision, cutting, and shaving removal is for people aged 16 and over. Our experts will assess the lump, bump, lipoma, cyst, using a special dermatology scope, the naked eye and examination/palpation - and offer removal during the same appointment – if appropriate.

Our GPs will explain to you his/her findings upon assessment and whether they feel the lump, bump, lipoma, lesion, and cyst appears suspicious and the removed lump, bump, lipoma, cyst, or lesion requires laboratory pathology analysis to rule out anything sinister. If we are to send the tissue to the laboratory the cost is £220.00 for analysis. The doctor will advise whether this is necessary and obtain consent to send off.

Some lumps, bumps, cysts, lesions, or lipomas may need a small biopsy in the first instance and the biopsy tissue sent to the laboratory for analysis. This costs £220 for laboratory pathology analysis and £175 for the biopsy. We can take a biopsy during the assessment.

Some lumps, bumps, cysts, lesions, or lipomas may need an ultrasound scan for characterisation prior to removal. MUMS offer ultrasound scan of lumps, bumps, and soft tissue. This costs £200 with MUMS sonographer – on Mondays and Wednesdays.

MUMS clinician will explain to you how they are going to remove it and whether excision, cutting or shaving is the best option, given its nature and location. You will probably need a couple of stitches if cutting or excision is performed as opposed to shaving. This is a straight-forward procedure.

The area will be numbed with local anaesthetic, and we will obtain your consent prior to the removal.

You may wish to have this minor surgery because of the unsightly appearance or because this is causing problems for you.

You may just want peace of mind to know that the lump, bump, lipoma, lesion, or cyst is not cancerous. You may just want to know what causes them and what your options are. MUMS experts can assess, advise, treat, and remove. These are common and easily treated with minor surgery. Sometimes they can grow bigger and are often small, harmless, and painless. They can appear anywhere on the body. Our dermatology experts can remove these in a one stop setting by surgically removing it.

There is only one assessment fee, regardless of the number of lumps, bumps, lipomas, lesions, or cysts to be removed and we can remove multiple lumps, bumps, lipomas, lesions, and cysts within the same appointment. There are no hidden costs.

Removal of lumps, bumps, lipomas, lesions, or cysts are swift and affordable at MUMS – in a CQC registered environment with only expert clinicians who are suitably qualified to carry out private minor surgery.

You will be given a patient information leaflet to take home and offered a free of charge follow up appointment.

We offer this service on Tuesdays and Fridays with Dr Sri (male),  and Dr Singh (female). You do not need a referral from your GP. The NHS does not offer this service as it is regarded as a service of limited clinical value and regarded as a cosmetic procedure so opting for private removal of lumps and bumps is now common in private practice.
