What is a Lipoma?

A lipoma is a fatty tumor that grows just beneath the skin. Lipomas are harmless and do not usually cause any pain or discomfort. However, they can sometimes be unsightly, and some people may choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons.

There are several different surgical techniques that can be used to remove a lipoma. The type of surgery that is best for you will depend on the size and location of the tumor. Surgery to remove a lipoma is typically safe and effective, with minimal scarring.

• Surgery to remove a lipoma is typically safe and effective, with minimal scarring.

How Does Lipoma Removal Work?

Lipoma removal is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you won’t need to stay overnight in the hospital. The surgery usually takes less than an hour to complete.

During the procedure, your surgeon will make a small incision over the lipoma and then carefully remove it. In most cases, the entire lipoma can be removed without having to cut into surrounding tissues.

After the lipoma has been removed, your surgeon will close the incision with stitches or surgical tape. You’ll likely have some soreness and bruising around the incision site for a few days after surgery. But this should quickly improve with time.
