A lipoma is a nonmalignant tumour composed of fat. It is a common benign soft-tissue tumour. Lipomas are soft to the touch, usually mobile, and generally painless. Lipomas are most often found in adults from 30 to 55 years old, but they can also be found in teenagers and children.

Procedure

Lipoma Removal procedure is performed under general or local anaesthesia. Lipomas are then removed through small incisions.

Getting back to normal

All stitches are usually placed inside the skin and do not require removal. Skin glue is applied to the skin incision and mild discomfort is managed with oral pain medication.
