Surgical Lipoma Removal

Lipoma removal is performed using a minor surgical excision technique:

  1. Local anaesthetic is applied
  2. A small incision is made over the lipoma
  3. The fatty tissue is carefully removed
  4. The area is closed with sutures

 

The goal is complete removal while preserving surrounding tissue and minimising scarring.
