About Lipoma Resection

Lipoma resection is a common surgical procedure performed by general surgeons to remove a benign, fatty tumor known as a lipoma. These soft, movable lumps develop under the skin and are typically harmless, but removal is often recommended for cosmetic reasons, to alleviate discomfort, or if the growth is large, painful, or rapidly increasing in size. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The surgeon makes a small incision over the lump, carefully dissects the encapsulated fatty tissue from the surrounding structures, and removes it in its entirety to prevent recurrence. The incision is then closed with sutures. It is a straightforward, low-risk operation with minimal scarring and a quick recovery, offering a definitive solution for bothersome lipomas.
