How DPC Can Help With Cyst Removal

Updated on: March 17, 2025

Cyst Removal and Direct Primary Care (DPC): Safe, Affordable Care for Peace of Mind

If you’ve been living with a painful or unsightly cyst, the thought of removal can bring both hope and anxiety. Over 3 million cyst removals are performed annually in the U.S., yet many patients face long waits, high costs, or impersonal care. Direct Primary Care (DPC) transforms this experience by offering prompt, personalized treatment—so you can reclaim comfort and confidence.

 


 

Understanding Cyst Removal: Simple Solutions for Lasting Relief

Cyst removal involves excising the sac and its contents. Techniques vary:

  • Minimal excision: For epidermoid cysts; no stitches needed.

  • Laparoscopic: For ovarian or abdominal cysts; small incisions.

  • Drainage + excision: For infected cysts (e.g., pilonidal).

Key facts for patients:

  • Safety: Low risk of infection (1 - 3%) or recurrence (5 - 10%).

  • Recovery: 1 - 2 weeks for simple cysts; 4 - 6 weeks for complex cases.

  • Costs: Traditional clinics charge 500 - 3,000 USD; DPC negotiates 300 - 1,500 USD.

Risks of fragmented care:

  • Delayed treatment leading to infection or scarring.

  • Unnecessary pain from incomplete cyst wall removal.

  • Financial stress from facility or anesthesia add-ons.

 


 

How DPC Transforms Cyst Removal

Direct Primary Care (DPC) operates on a membership model (typically 70 - 150 USD/month), offering unlimited access to a provider who handles your care. For cyst removal, this means same-day procedures, transparent pricing, and recovery tailored to your needs.

1. Swift, Expert Treatment

  • In-office procedures: Remove simple cysts during routine visits (300 - 500 USD).

  • Specialist coordination: Refer to surgeons for complex cases (e.g., ovarian cysts) at negotiated rates.

  • Anesthesia options: Local numbing or sedation for comfort.

2. Transparent Costs and Holistic Care

  • All-inclusive pricing: No hidden fees for supplies, pathology, or follow-ups.

  • Preventive focus: Early removal avoids abscess formation (2,000+ USD ER visits).

  • Scar management: Provide silicone gel or laser treatments post-healing.

3. Personalized Prep and Recovery

  • Prep guidance: Avoid blood thinners; clean the area with antibacterial soap.

  • 24/7 support: Send photos of redness or drainage for same-day advice.

  • Wound care kits: Include sterile dressings and instructions for home care.

FAQs: Cyst Removal and DPC

Q: Does cyst removal hurt?
A: Local anesthesia ensures minimal discomfort. Most feel pressure, not pain.

Q: How soon can I shower post-op?
A: After 24 hours for simple excisions; DPC provides waterproof dressings.
