Ganglion Cyst Miami
Have you noticed a strange little bump on your wrist or hand that seems to appear out of nowhere? It might come and go, feel firm or squishy, and sometimes even ache when you use your hand. That mysterious lump is most likely a ganglion cyst—a harmless but annoying pocket of fluid that loves to set up camp around joints or tendons. While it’s not dangerous, it can be uncomfortable, limit your movement, or simply make you feel self-conscious. The great news? Dr. Sophie offers safe, effective treatments to make it disappear—so your hands look and feel as good as they should.
What Exactly Is a Ganglion Cyst?
Ganglion cysts are noncancerous lumps filled with a jelly-like fluid that usually develop along the wrist, hand, or even fingers. They can change in size, get bigger with activity, or sometimes shrink when you rest. For some people, they’re painless but frustrating to look at; for others, they cause aching, tingling, or weakness by pressing on nearby nerves.
Why Choose Dr. Sophie for Ganglion Cyst Removal?
Because your hands deserve expert, boutique-level care. With Dr. Sophie, you’ll benefit from:
- Clear diagnosis – ensuring your lump is truly a ganglion cyst and not something else.
- Personalized treatment – from simple drainage (aspiration) to minor surgical removal, depending on your needs.

How much it Costs Ganglion Cyst Treatment?
The cost of removing a ganglion cyst depends on the treatment method.
Aspiration (draining the cyst with a needle) is often less expensive but comes with a higher chance of recurrence.
Surgical excision, performed by Dr. Sophie with precision, provides longer-lasting results and peace of mind, but naturally comes at a higher cost due to its effectiveness and permanence.
During your consultation, Dr. Sophie will review your options and give you a clear breakdown of pricing so you can make the best choice for your health, comfort, and budget.
Treatment Options
Dr. Sophie offers two main approaches:
- Aspiration – a quick, in-office procedure to drain the fluid and flatten the cyst.
- Surgical excision – a minor outpatient procedure where the cyst and its root are removed for long-term relief.
Both are safe and effective—your choice depends on your lifestyle, comfort level, and whether you want fast relief or a more permanent solution.
