Will Removal Of Cyst On The Neck Leave A Scar?

I have a cyst on the back of my neck approximately the size of a thumb tip. It is located about 2.5 cms from the skull base and about 1.5 cms from the vertical centre of the neck.

I am considering getting it removed and want to know if there are any potential complications or if it is likely to leave a scar.

Thanks
