What Is Lipoma Removal Surgery?
A lipoma is a benign, slow-growing fatty lump that forms beneath the skin. Although not dangerous, lipomas can grow large, become tender, or cause discomfort in everyday activities.
Lipoma removal surgery is a simple, minimally invasive procedure where the lump is carefully excised to ensure complete removal and prevent recurrence. The surgery is quick, safe, and performed under local anaesthesia in most cases.
This procedure restores comfort, improves appearance, and prevents further growth.
