Lipomas, fatty lumps, and growths can develop under the skin and may vary in size and shape over time. Often, it can be challenging to determine whether a lipoma is harmless or if it may be something more concerning. While lipomas are typically benign, it's important to have a doctor with the proper training and experience to differentiate between a harmless lipoma and other types of growths.
The sooner a lipoma is assessed and treated, the sooner a treatment plan can be put in place to ensure optimal patient outcomes. If you notice a growth under your skin or if a lipoma causes discomfort or changes in size, don’t delay in booking an appointment. The earlier the lipoma is treated, the sooner you can achieve peace of mind and a swift recovery.

Our Lipoma Removal Process
A regular lipoma check is an essential step in identifying and treating benign growths before they become more problematic. Our lipoma checks are simple and efficient, often taking under 15 minutes.
The process will begin with a doctor examining the area of concern, noting any abnormal growths or lumps. They will then use specialized tools to assess the lipoma’s size, shape, and location to determine the best course of action for removal.
In some cases, imaging or ultrasound might be recommended to assess deeper or larger lipomas that are not easily visible or palpable.
Simple lipoma removals can often be performed during the session. However, if the lipoma is large or located in a sensitive area, more complex surgical excisions will be scheduled for another appointment.
Most checks will be done with clothing on, as lipomas typically form on areas of the body like the arms, back, and thighs. However, if you have concerns about lipomas in other areas, you can request to have them examined as part of your checkup.
