    What is Lipoma Removal?

    Although lipomas are not dangerous, they can still impact your daily life:

    • Discomfort or pressure on nerves or joints
    • Restricted movement depending on location
    • Visible lumps affecting confidence

    Removing a lipoma can help you feel more comfortable and confident quickly.

    The procedure is fast and simple, usually taking less than 30 minutes depending on the size of the lipoma.
    Once a small cut is made, the lipoma is excised, and the wound is addressed with minimal scarring.

    Why Think About Lipoma Removal?

    Leaving a lipoma alone may not pose health risks, but it can cause:
    • Fast procedure (typically 20–30 minutes)
    • Performed under local anesthetic
    • Minimal scarring techniques
    Having it removed comes with some clear advantages:
    • Quick return to normal activities
    • Long-term removal with low recurrence

    Lipoma Removal FAQs

    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.
    Lipoma removal is a quick procedure, usually taking 20–30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the lipoma.
    A small scar is expected, but our clinicians use techniques designed to minimise scarring. Scars typically fade over time.
    Once fully removed, a lipoma rarely returns. However, new lipomas can occasionally develop elsewhere.
    Most patients return to normal daily activities within 24–48 hours. Strenuous activity may need to be avoided briefly, depending on the treatment area.
