Second or third op: Synovial fluid removal from a hip is rare. If there is re- accumulation you need to get a second or third opinion. It may be time to get a hip replacement. If you get an infection it could be quite serious. It could prevent an actual hip replacement. NO more aspiration .

I think he is doing: Okay, as these cysts do certainly recur. I believe eventually the cyst will get smaller and disappear, as they never continue to grow back forever. I would probably get it removed once again, to determine the tissue type, once again. specially if it keeps coming back. Good luck.
