Sebaceous cyst removal is generally safe, but like any surgery, it carries some risks. Potential issues include infection (rare), recurrence if the cyst sac isn’t completely removed, scarring, and very rarely damage to nearby tissues.

To minimize risks, follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, keep the incision clean, attend follow-up visits, and report any unusual symptoms promptly.

Choosing an experienced surgeon also helps ensure smooth recovery and reduces complications.
