A cyst is a closed sac under the skin, usually harmless, that becomes worth removing when it grows, becomes painful, gets infected, or simply sits somewhere it cannot be ignored. Draining one empties it; excising it is what stops it filling again.
At Lux Hospitals, cyst removal starts from ₹5,000. What sits above that floor depends on the type of cyst, its size and depth, the anaesthesia it needs, and whether the specimen goes for testing.
Quoted as a floor rather than a band, because "a cyst" covers everything from a small skin lump excised in fifteen minutes to a deep one needing imaging first. What your case comes to is settled at the consultation, and settled in writing.
From ₹5,000
estimated surgery cost
Sebaceous, epidermoid, dermoid and ganglion cysts are different operations. A superficial one is minutes; a deep or large one needs a longer dissection and careful closure.
A cyst on the face or neck is removed with the scar in mind, and a site close to a nerve or vessel takes more theatre time and more care.
An actively infected cyst may need draining first and excising once it has settled. Anything with a suspicious feel is sent for histopathology, which is an added charge and a worthwhile one.
A shared ward, a twin-sharing room or a private suite: the largest single swing in most estimates, and the one thing on this list you choose rather than are assigned.
A longer operation spends more theatre time and more of the anaesthetist’s, and a consultant with more years behind the procedure is charged at a higher rate.
Local, spinal or general. Which one your case needs is a clinical decision, not a preference, and it moves both the drug cost and how long you are monitored afterwards.
We are empanelled with most major insurers and file the pre-authorisation for you, so what is left to pay yourself is known before admission rather than at discharge.
Which of these apply to you is settled at the consultation. Until a surgeon has seen you and your reports, any figure (here or anywhere else) is a range rather than your bill.

Every figure above is an indicative range, not a quote. After your consultation you are given a written, fixed-cost estimate, and that is the number you pay, with no additions once treatment begins.
The figure quoted to you is what leaving the hospital costs, not what entering it does. Everything below is inside it.
Important: Anything outside this list is told to you before it is done, not billed afterwards. If your case needs something the estimate did not allow for, you are asked first.
Your final bill may change if you need additional tests, a procedure for another condition, a longer hospital stay, extra medicines or follow-up care beyond what your estimate includes.
Ask the billing team which charges are included and which may be added based on your treatment needs.
Most policies cover medically necessary cyst removal, where it is symptomatic, infected or growing. We support cashless claims with the major insurers.
Coverage depends on your policy, the treatment approved and the insurer or TPA. Contact the Lux Hospitals insurance desk to check eligibility and understand any expected out-of-pocket cost.
The two things that go wrong with a cyst excision are that it comes back and that it leaves a mark. Both are decided in theatre.
Most people are back to normal activity within a day or two. Sutures come out at the review appointment about a week later.
