What is Lipoma Removal?

Lipoma removal is a surgical procedure to excise a benign tumor made up of fat cells. These soft, movable lumps are typically harmless but can be removed if they cause discomfort, pain, or aesthetic concerns.

How Does Lipoma Removal Work?

Lipoma removal at Drypskin begins with a detailed consultation to assess the lipoma’s size, location, and potential impact. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made over the lipoma, allowing the surgeon to carefully remove the fatty lump in its entirety. The incision is then sutured closed, and the area is bandaged. The entire process usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the lipoma’s size and complexity. Our team ensures minimal scarring and a smooth recovery process, providing you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing.

Who is Lipoma Removal For?

Individuals with symptomatic lipomas causing pain or discomfort.
Those with large or growing lipomas that interfere with daily activities.
People concerned about the appearance of lipomas in visible areas.
Anyone advised by a healthcare provider for medical or aesthetic reasons.

Post-Procedure Care

After lipoma removal, it’s important to keep the area clean and follow your specialist’s wound care instructions. Avoid strenuous activities for a few days to ensure proper healing. Attend follow-up appointments as recommended to monitor your recovery.
