A lipoma is a collection of fat cells that can become large tumors underneath the skin.  Although there is a very small risk of malignancy, the majority of lipomas are benign and can be safely removed with surgery.

Lipomas are typically harmless, but they will not resolve without a procedure. Any painful, itchy, or irritating lipomas should be removed. Those with cosmetically bothersome lipomas can also elect for removal.

How are lipomas removed at Orchard Park Aesthetics?
