The treatment
Lipoma Removal: how it works
Dr Shahe Boghossian examines the lump and asks how long you've had it and whether it has changed. A lump that's painful, hard, fixed or growing needs your GP, and lipomas over 5cm are checked at a specialist clinic, so he refers you rather than removing those. If removal suits you, he numbs the area with local anaesthetic and removes the lipoma through a small cut, aiming to take out its capsule. Lipomas can come back if the capsule isn't fully removed.
