Frequently asked questions
What is a lipoma?
A lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous), soft, fatty lump that forms under the skin. It’s usually painless, slow-growing, and movable when touched.
Is lipoma dangerous or cancerous?
No, lipomas are generally harmless and non-cancerous. However, in rare cases, a lump may need to be examined to rule out other conditions like liposarcoma (a malignant tumor).
When should I consider removing a lipoma?
You should consider removal if the lipoma is growing, painful, causing discomfort, limiting movement, or affecting your appearance. It’s also advisable to remove it for diagnostic confirmation.
How is a lipoma diagnosed?
Lipomas are typically diagnosed through a physical exam. In some cases, an ultrasound, MRI, or biopsy may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other issues.
What does lipoma removal surgery involve?
Lipoma removal is a minor outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision over the lump, removes the fatty tissue, and closes the wound with stitches.
Is the procedure painful?
No, the procedure is not painful as it is done under local anesthesia. You may feel some pressure during surgery and mild soreness afterward, which is manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Will the lipoma come back after removal?
If completely removed, lipomas usually do not return in the same location. However, some people may develop new lipomas in other areas, especially if they have a genetic tendency.
Are there visible scars after surgery?
Scarring is minimal and depends on the size and location of the lipoma. Our surgeons use precise techniques to minimize scarring and enhance cosmetic outcomes.
How long is the recovery period?
Recovery is usually quick. Most patients return to normal daily activities within 1–3 days. Stitches may be removed within 7–10 days if non-dissolvable sutures are used.
Does insurance cover lipoma removal?
In many cases, insurance may cover lipoma removal if it causes pain, functional issues, or is medically necessary. Cosmetic removals may not be covered—check with your provider for specifics.
Lipoma Treatment

Lipoma removal is a minor outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made over the lump, and the fatty tissue is carefully excised. The wound is then closed with sutures, often leaving only a minimal scar. Recovery is quick, and most patients can return to normal activities shortly after the procedure.
