Atheroma removal is a simple and effective surgical procedure that removes fatty cysts known as atheroma. These cysts form when the sebaceous glands become clogged, forming soft, painless growths under the skin. Although they are usually harmless, atheromas can become inflamed, infected or cause aesthetic discomfort, which makes their removal recommended.
Atheroma most often appear on the scalp, face, neck, back and chest, but they can also appear on other parts of the body. The main reason for their removal is to prevent further growth, infection or cracking. The atheroma removal procedure in our clinic is carried out carefully and professionally, ensuring minimal risk and an optimal aesthetic result.
The surgical procedure involves a small incision in the skin through which the atheroma is removed along with the capsule. This is crucial to prevent it from reoccurring. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which makes it completely painless for the patient. Depending on the size and location of the atheroma, the intervention lasts between 20 and 40 minutes.
After removal, the patient can immediately resume daily activities. The wound is covered with a sterile bandage, and the stitches are removed in 7 to 10 days. Postoperative recovery is quick and easy, and the scar, if there is one, becomes almost imperceptible over time.
Our certified and authorized surgeons provide a personalized approach to each patient, utilizing the latest technologies and techniques to achieve the best results in atheroma removal, ensuring maximum safety and comfort throughout the entire process
