Lipoma Removal FAQs

Is lipoma removal painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during removal. Mild soreness afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few days.

How long does the procedure take?

Lipoma removal is a quick procedure, usually taking 20–30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the lipoma.

Will there be a scar?

A small scar is expected, but our clinicians use techniques designed to minimise scarring. Scars typically fade over time.

Can a lipoma grow back after removal?

Once fully removed, a lipoma rarely returns. However, new lipomas can occasionally develop elsewhere.

What is the recovery time?

Most patients return to normal daily activities within 24–48 hours. Strenuous activity may need to be avoided briefly, depending on the treatment area.
