Specialist Lipoma Removal & Treatment in London
What is a Lipoma?
A lipoma is a slow-growing, non-cancerous lump made up of fatty tissue. They are usually soft, move easily under the skin, and are most common in the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms, and thighs. While lipomas are benign, some people choose to have them removed due to discomfort, interference with movement, or cosmetic concerns.
Symptoms of Lipomas
Soft, doughy lump beneath the skin
Lump that moves easily when pressed
Usually painless, but may cause discomfort if pressing on nerves or in a high-friction area
Slow, gradual growth over time
Treatment Options We Offer
Conservative Management
- If a lipoma is small, painless, and not causing functional issues, it can be safely left alone and monitored during routine check-ups.
- Ultrasound or MRI can confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions.
Minimally Invasive Removal
Small lipomas can often be removed through a short incision under local anaesthesia, leaving minimal scarring. Liposuction techniques may be used for certain lipomas, especially if the goal is to minimise incision size.
Surgical Excision
Performed as an outpatient procedure with a quick recovery time.
For larger or recurrent lipomas, complete excision ensures the fatty tissue capsule is removed, significantly reducing the risk of recurrence.
