A lipoma is a soft, fatty, non-cancerous lump that forms under the skin, often appearing on the neck, shoulders, arms, or back. While typically painless and slow-growing, lipomas can become uncomfortable or unsightly, especially when they increase in size or occur in sensitive areas.
Our treatment for lipomas is focused on quick, safe removal with minimal discomfort and scarring. For most patients, a simple outpatient procedure under local anesthesia is all that's needed. In select cases, observation may be recommended if the lipoma is small and symptom-free.
We ensure proper diagnosis, patient comfort, and clean cosmetic outcomes for every treatment.
We carefully assess the size, type, and location of the lipoma before deciding whether removal is necessary.
Lipoma excision is usually a minor, outpatient procedure done under local anesthesia with minimal risk.
We use cosmetic closure techniques to keep post-procedure marks minimal and aesthetically pleasing.
Most patients feel little to no pain after removal and can return to normal activities within a day.
Surgical removal of the entire lipoma capsule helps prevent it from coming back.
The procedure is quick and safe enough that you can return home the same day — no overnight stay required.
The exact cause is unknown, but lipomas may be hereditary. They are more common in adults between 30–60 years of age.
Most lipomas are benign (non-cancerous) and harmless. However, fast-growing or painful lumps should be evaluated by a doctor.
Removal is recommended if the lipoma is painful, growing, restricting movement, or affecting your appearance or confidence.
No. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and patients typically feel little to no discomfort during or after removal.
Complete removal of the lipoma and its capsule greatly reduces the chance of recurrence in the same area.
Since the procedure is precise and minimally invasive, the chances of infection are significantly lower.
