Safe, Scar-Minimizing Lipoma Removal
Don’t let a growing lump cause you worry or discomfort. MedgoPlus Health Care provides expert evaluation and quick, minimally invasive removal of lipomas (fatty tumors) with a focus on excellent cosmetic results.
Understanding Lipomas
A lipoma is a slow-growing, benign (non-cancerous) lump of fatty tissue situated just beneath the skin. They are most commonly found on the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms, and thighs. While lipomas are generally harmless and painless, they can grow over time, becoming cosmetically bothersome or pressing on nearby nerves, causing discomfort. At MedgoPlus Health Care, we offer precise diagnostics to confirm the lump is a simple lipoma and provide swift, safe removal options
When Should You Have a Lipoma Removed?
Because lipomas are benign, removal is often elective. However, you should consult our surgical specialists if you experience:
• Noticeable Growth: The lump is noticeably increasing in size over weeks or months.
• Pain or Tenderness: The lipoma feels painful, which happens if it contains many blood vessels or is pressing on a nerve.
• Cosmetic Concerns: The lump is in a highly visible area and affecting your confidence.
• Restricted Movement: The lump’s location interferes with your clothing or restricts joint movement.
• Uncertainty: Any new or changing lump should always be evaluated by a doctor to rule out other, more serious conditions.

Our Treatment Approach
Lipomas do not go away on their own. MedgoPlus Health Care specializes in quick, outpatient procedures designed to completely remove the lipoma while keeping scarring to an absolute minimum:
1. Minimal Incision Extraction (Surgical Excision) This is the most common and effective method. Under local anesthesia, our surgeon makes a tiny incision over the lipoma and carefully extracts the fatty tissue.
The Benefits: We remove the lipoma along with its fibrous capsule, which ensures the lowest possible chance of the lump growing back. The incision is closed with fine, often dissolvable stitches for an excellent cosmetic outcome.
2. Liposuction For larger or softer lipomas, a needle and a large syringe may be used to suction out the fatty lump.
The Benefits: This technique requires an even smaller incision, resulting in virtually no scarring, though there is a slightly higher chance of recurrence compared to full surgical excision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because our surgeons carefully extract the entire lipoma along with its surrounding capsule during surgical excision, it is highly unlikely to grow back in the same spot.
Rarely. The vast majority of lipoma removals are quick outpatient procedures performed using only local anesthesia to numb the specific area, meaning you remain awake and comfortable.
