Minor Skin Surgery

Lipoma Removal in Bexleyheath

From £495

A lipoma is a soft, fatty lump that forms just beneath the skin. It develops from an overgrowth of fat cells and usually feels doughy/rubbery to touch.

Lipomas grow slowly and are usually painless, although they can become uncomfortable if they press on any nearby joints or nerves.

These benign growths commonly appear on the shoulders, back, arms or abdomen, but can also appear elsewhere on the body. While lipomas aren’t dangerous, people will often choose to remove them; particularly if they become more visible, continue to grow or if they cause discomfort.

How do we remove Lipomas at Persona Medical Aesthetics?

To remove your lipoma effectively, we perform minor surgical excision. This method removes the entire fatty mass, including its capsule. This significantly reduces the chance of recurrence.

How does the treatment work?

After cleansing and numbing your skin with local anesthetic, our medics make a small incision directly over the lipoma. They then carefully separate the lipoma from any surrounding tissue to remove it in one piece. Our technique minimises scarring and promotes a smooth healing process.

The area will then be stitched and dressed and you will be required to return to the clinic to have the stitches removed 1-2 weeks later, unless dissolvable stitches have been used.

What to expect from your Lipoma removal treatment

After the procedure, mild swelling or bruising may appear around the treated area. This usually settles within a few days.

When to expect results:

You can return to most daily activities immediately, although we do recommend avoiding any strenuous movement for at least 48 hours. This includes exercise and heavy lifting.

As the skin heals, any incision line becomes less noticeable, often fading significantly over the next few months.

For the best results and a smooth healing process, we always encourage following our simple aftercare advice.

FAQs

Is it safe to have a Lipoma removed?

Yes it is safe to have a Lipoma removed by a Medically Qualified Practitioner. Your procedure will be carried out in a clean, clinical setting using sterile instruments.
How will you remove my Lipoma?

Once we have examined your cyst and determined that we can safely remove it, we will use local anaesthetic to numb the area and then surgically remove the lipoma.
Does Lipoma removal leave a scar?

Yes, you will have a scar where the lump, bump or Lipoma used to be. However, we try to minimise scarring as much as possible. We recommend Kelo-Cote scar gel to help soften and flatten the scar.

What Else Can We Treat?

Skin tags

Skin tags are generally small, noncancerous growths that tend to be the same colour as your skin. They often look like a cluster of skin tissue extending out from a tiny stem. They’re sometimes darker and may resemble a raised mole.

Keratosis

Keratosis is a common benign skin growth, similar to a mole. Most people will have at least one in their lifetime. They tend to appear in mid-adulthood and their frequency increases with age. They are harmless and easily treated.

Lipoma

Lipoma are benign fatty growths which can occur anywhere on the body and can appear in various sizes. A Lipoma is not serious at all, but can often cause discomfort or embarrassment for people.

Moles

A Mole, or naevus, is a normal skin growth that develops when pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) grow in groups. Moles can appear in a range of different colours, shapes and sizes.

Cysts

A skin cyst is a round, dome-shaped lump. It is yellow or white, often with a small dark plug through which you might be able to squeeze out pus. Cysts can range in size from smaller than a pea to a few centimetres across. They grow slowly.

Angiomas

Angiomas are non-cancerous tumors that are made up of blood or lymphatic vessels and can appear anywhere on the body. They are usually soft and can be pink, red, purple, or reddish-black in color.

Syringomas

Syringomas are small, firm, benign bumps that form when sweat glands become overactive. They are skin-coloured, yellowish, brown, or pink, and are usually 1–3 millimeters wide. They often appear in clusters on both sides of the body.

Xanthelasma

Xanthelasma, or xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP), is a harmless, yellow growth that appears on or by the corners of your eyelids next to your nose. Cholesterol deposits build up under your skin which is the cause of these.

Venous Lake

A venous lake is a soft, squashable, blue or purple macule or papule. Although they may arise anywhere, most venous lakes are diagnosed on the lower lip (on the vermilion margin or mucosal surface), on an earlobe, or elsewhere on the face, neck, or upper trunk.

Milia

Milia (or milium) are tiny white bumps near the surface of your skin. Anyone can get them at any time of life. You can find them anywhere on the body, but they often cluster around the eyes, nose, cheeks and forehead.
