Lipoma Excision
Lipomas are typically slow-growing and often painless superficial lumps and can appear at different locations. They can sometimes cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns if they become large or located in visible areas of the body. Lipoma excision is generally considered a safe and effective procedure, with a low risk of complications.

What to expect at the time of your surgery:
During a lipoma excision, a surgeon makes an incision over the lipoma and carefully removes the fat deposition along with the surrounding capsule. The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia, depending on the size and location of the lipoma. Lipoma excision is typically an outpatient procedure, meaning the patient can usually go home the same day after the surgery. The incision site is closed with sutures, and the surgeon may apply a dressing or bandage to promote healing and protect the wound.
What to expect after your surgery:
After the surgery, patients are advised to follow post-operative care instructions, which may include keeping the incision clean and dry, avoiding strenuous activities, and taking prescribed medications if needed. Recovery time can vary depending on the size and location of the lipoma and the individual’s healing process.

Lipoma Excision FAQ
Lipoma excision is considered a minor surgical procedure. It is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and patients can usually go home the same day after the surgery.
During the procedure, a surgeon makes a small incision over the lipoma and carefully removes the tumor along with the surrounding capsule. The surgery is often done under local anesthesia, numbing the area where the lipoma is located.
As with any surgical procedure, there is a possibility of scarring after lipoma excision. However, the incisions are typically small and made in inconspicuous locations whenever possible to minimize the appearance of scars.
The duration of the procedure can vary depending on the size and location of the lipoma. In general, lipoma excision usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
