What should I know?
Lipomas are usually slow-growing, soft lumps made of fatty tissue beneath the skin. Not every lump is a lipoma, so assessment matters.
How does treatment work?
Following an examination, the clinician will discuss whether removal is appropriate, the technique, possible scarring and recovery.
What about recovery?
Healing varies depending on the procedure, the area treated and individual factors. Your clinician should explain expected downtime, wound care, scarring, potential complications and follow-up before treatment.
Common questions
Will it hurt?
Many minor surgical procedures use local anaesthetic. Your clinician can explain what to expect for the treatment recommended.
Will there be a scar?
Any procedure that cuts the skin may leave a scar. Appearance and healing vary.
How much will it cost?
Lipoma Removal starts from £395. The final cost is confirmed following your assessment, and any additional charges, where applicable, are explained before treatment. See our Prices page for consultation fees.
