Lipoma removal is a minor surgical procedure used to extract soft, fatty lumps that grow under the skin. While lipomas are typically benign and slow-growing, some patients choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons, discomfort, or diagnostic purposes.
Lipomas may become bothersome when they increase in size, press on nearby structures, or occur in visible areas of the body. In cases where there’s uncertainty about the nature of the growth, the removed tissue can be sent for biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
If you’re considering lipoma removal, it’s important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Nathan. He will evaluate the size, location, and texture of the lipoma and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach to minimize scarring and recurrence. A one-on-one consultation ensures that your care is both safe and tailored to your unique needs—whether your goal is aesthetic, medical, or both.

Personalized Approach to Lipoma Removal
Not all lipomas are the same. Dr. Nathan carefully evaluates each patient’s case—considering the size, depth, and location of the growth—before recommending a surgical plan. Whether it’s a small subcutaneous lipoma or a larger mass requiring layered closure, the approach is tailored to preserve aesthetics and reduce recurrence risk.
Lipomas are soft, fatty growths that develop beneath the skin. While typically benign and slow-growing, they can still cause discomfort, cosmetic concern, or functional limitations depending on their size and location. At The Nathan Clinic, Dr. Nathan offers expert evaluation and personalized surgical removal for lipomas of all types.
Here are some of the most common reasons patients choose to have a lipoma removed:
Size or Growth Over Time: Lipomas that increase in size may begin to press on nerves or surrounding tissue.
Cosmetic Concerns: Even small lipomas can be noticeable or asymmetrical in visible areas like the arms, shoulders, or back.
Discomfort or Pain: Some lipomas cause tenderness or pain, especially when located near joints, pressure points, or nerves.
Restricted Movement: Large or deep lipomas may interfere with normal motion or cause muscle tightness.
Diagnostic Uncertainty: If the mass is unusually firm, growing rapidly, or painful, removal may be recommended to rule out more serious conditions.
During your consultation, Dr. Nathan will assess the lipoma, review your health history, and recommend the best surgical approach to ensure safe removal and optimal cosmetic outcome.
