Lipomas are benign fatty tumours that develop beneath the skin, appearing as soft, movable lumps. While generally harmless, many patients seek removal for cosmetic reasons or when the lipoma causes discomfort. At Safa Skin and Hair Clinic, we perform safe, minimally scarring lipoma removal procedures.
Our dermatologists evaluate each lipoma for size, depth, and location before performing the most appropriate removal technique under local anaesthesia.
Lipoma removal is a minor dermatosurgical procedure performed under local anaesthesia in a clinic setting. Smaller lipomas can often be removed through minimal incisions using a squeeze technique, resulting in very small scars.
Our surgeons take care to completely excise the lipoma capsule to minimise the risk of recurrence, while optimising the cosmetic result through precise wound closure technique.
We examine the lipoma clinically, assessing size, depth, mobility, and precise location to determine the most appropriate removal approach and incision plan.
The surgical plan, anaesthesia, expected healing timeline, and post-procedure care are explained fully before scheduling the removal procedure.
Lipoma removal is performed under local anaesthesia with careful dissection to remove the fatty tissue and capsule completely through a minimal incision.
Post-operative wound care instructions are provided, with a follow-up to assess healing, remove sutures, and ensure complete and cosmetically satisfactory recovery.
