Introduction:
A lipoma is a common, non-cancerous fatty lump that grows slowly under the skin. While usually harmless, it can become bothersome or unsightly over time. If you're dealing with a lipoma, you're not alone. Lipoma excision is a safe and effective minor surgical procedure to remove it permanently.

What is a Lipoma?

• A soft, rubbery lump of fat under the skin

• Usually found on neck, shoulders, arms, thighs, or back

• Painless and movable

• Grows slowly over months or years

When Should You Consider Excision?

• The lipoma is painful or tender

• It's growing quickly

• Interferes with movement or daily activities

• Aesthetic concerns

• Uncertain diagnosis requiring biopsy

The Procedure: What to Expect

• Performed under local anesthesia

• A small incision is made over the lump

• The fatty tissue is carefully removed

• Stitches are placed and recovery begins

Recovery Time:

• Quick and straightforward

• Minimal downtime (return to work in a day or two)

• Temporary swelling or bruising

Benefits of Lipoma Removal:

• Permanent removal of the lump

• Instant relief from discomfort

• No recurrence (in most cases)

• Cosmetic improvement

Post-operative Care Tips:
