“Scarless” Lipoma Removal

 

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. Read more about our lipoma removal techniques in our publication: Combined Liposuction and Excision of Lipomas study. When you schedule a consultation, we will discuss the options to provide the best results. Lipoma-removal surgery takes place in our private AAAASF-accredited surgical suite.
