Is f/u ultrasound indicated for a 1 cm incidentally found paraovarian cyst? dr said it isn't and doesn't recommend another u/s.

Not usually: Almost all paraovarian cysts are benign especially small ones like this.

Doc's right: Your doctor is correct. A 1 cm simple cyst next to the ovary (parovarian) does not require followup. A small cystic structure in the ovary in someone your age is not a cyst but an ovarian follicle that is normal and doesn't require followup either.
