It may be due to the type/size of the cyst.  Mine was 10x11 cm, and I had to have open surgery.  It's just a 6-inch cut just above your hairline and heals up rather nicely.  If you were ever to feel comfortable in a bikini, I don't think it would be hard to cover up with one.  You're able to move around pretty much immediately.  Yeah, it hurts for a while to move around, but it's necessary and with the aid of pain medications, it's at least diminished.
