Do they give anesthesia for aspiration of breast cyst?

Yes: This is often done with local anesthesia. General anesthesia could be used but is usually not necessary.

See answer: Breast cyst aspiration is a relatively rapid procedure – local anesthesia / cutaneous – subcutaneous “numbing” is sufficient.
