Your health and recovery are our top priorities.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Post-surgery discomfort is manageable with pain relief and proper wound care.
Most patients recover within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the surgical method used.
Proper surgical removal significantly reduces recurrence, though maintaining good hygiene and wound care can further prevent reoccurrence.
