Lipomas or fatty tumors are benign tumors of mature fat cells that may appear anywhere on the body. Although the majority of lipomas are not harmful, patients often choose to remove lipomas for aesthetic or functional reasons.
Dr. Michelle Copeland and Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin have developed lipoma removal expertise which includes combining excision with liposuction techniques to remove lipomas with minimal scarring and quicker recovery time.
