Our Procedure
Lipoma removal is a surgical procedure to extract lipomas—benign (non-cancerous) tumors composed of fat cells that develop under the skin. These soft, doughy growths typically appear on the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms, and thighs, though they can form almost anywhere on the body.
While lipomas are generally harmless and often grow slowly, they may be removed for several reasons: if they cause pain or discomfort, restrict movement, compress nearby nerves, grow rapidly, or for cosmetic concerns when they create visible bulges under the skin.
At Neoderma Clinica, our expert surgeons perform lipoma removal with meticulous attention to detail, using techniques that minimize scarring while effectively removing the entire lipoma to prevent recurrence. We offer both traditional excision and minimally invasive approaches, depending on the size and location of your lipoma.

What to expect after lipoma removal:
Lipomas are generally harmless, benign (non-cancerous) growths composed of fat cells. They typically grow slowly and rarely transform into malignant (cancerous) tumors. However, in rare cases, a type of cancer called liposarcoma can resemble a lipoma. For this reason, we recommend having any new or changing growth evaluated by a medical professional. Additionally, even benign lipomas may require removal if they cause pain, restrict movement, grow rapidly, or create cosmetic concerns. During your consultation, our surgeons will thoroughly evaluate your lipoma and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.
