I had one removed from the bridge of my nose near the corner of my left eye.

Painless procedure with a local anaesthetic and all over in about ten minutes.

Not a cyst, but I had a little growth removed from a lower eyelid some years ago. It was done by a plastic surgeon, because they didn't want to risk affecting the line of my eyelid. It hadn't occurred to me at that stage. He was a bit enthusiastic, and went about removing some moles at the same time. He was pretty open about the fact that if he removed more than x number of lesions, his fee went up!

By the time he'd done, I looked like I'd been hit by shrapnel, with a "bonus" black eye.

It was all very easy, and if you need to have it done, they'll likely apply some local anaesthetic cream first, so that when they get around to the "proper" local, you're nice and still. You'll be fine
