Default How do you fix a swelled sill edge with rust?

A fairly good sill on a sierra needs one patch which is no problem but it swole up with rust on the lip. seems a lot of work to cut this all out and have it looking standard again. but if i dont cut it out im afraid it'll be rusted in no time again. How does the rest of you deal with this?
