In the clip, Dr. Lee cuts a slit in the cyst and then squeezes the growth with her fingers. What comes out is a ball of cyst contents, sac wall and all. As for looks, several fans commented the cyst looks like a corn nutand you may agree.
To finish off the procedure, Dr. Lee snips off the attached growth with surgical scissors to ensure it is gone for good.
Oh, youll be happy to get rid of that, Dr. Lee tells the patient. Someone get an Easy Button, because that was easy.
