Introduction
A lipoma is a common, non-cancerous fatty lump that grows slowly beneath the skin.
While typically harmless and painless, it can become bothersome or cosmetically unappealing over time.
If you’ve noticed a soft lump that’s growing or causing discomfort, you’re not alone — lipomas are very common and can be easily treated.
At Seren Med Lounge, we perform safe, scar-minimizing lipoma excision procedures that offer permanent results with minimal downtime.
What Is a Lipoma?
A lipoma is a soft, rubbery, fatty mass that forms under the skin due to an overgrowth of fat cells.
It typically:
Feels soft and movable under gentle pressure
Appears on areas such as the neck, shoulders, arms, thighs, or back
Grows slowly over several months or years
Is generally painless, though larger ones may press on nerves and cause mild discomfort
Lipomas are benign (non-cancerous) but should be examined to rule out rare conditions like liposarcoma.
When Should You Consider Excision?
You might need lipoma excision if:
The lump becomes painful or tender
It starts growing rapidly
It interferes with movement or causes discomfort
It becomes visibly noticeable or cosmetically concerning
Your doctor recommends biopsy to confirm the diagnosis
Removing the lipoma early ensures both comfort and peace of mind.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Lipoma removal is a minor daycare procedure, performed safely under local anesthesia.
Step-by-Step Overview:
Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area.
A small incision is made directly above the lipoma.
The fatty lump is gently removed in its entirety.
Stitches are placed for neat closure and fast healing.
🕒 Procedure duration: 20–30 minutes
Patients can usually return home immediately after the procedure.
Recovery Time
Recovery from lipoma excision is quick and hassle-free:
Resume normal activities within 1–2 days
Mild swelling or bruising may occur and subsides quickly
Follow-up visit in 5–7 days for stitch removal (if applicable)
Most patients report minimal discomfort and are back to their routine almost immediately.
