Lipomas are slow-growing, benign (non-cancerous) growths of fat cells. These cells are contained in a thin capsule that creates the appearance of a “bump” right under the skin. Lipomas are typically not tender, move around easily, and don’t require treatment. However, some lipomas may sit in places that cause discomfort to the patient, which is why some people may request removal. Appearance is another reason people may request removal as well. Often a small incision can be made over the lipoma and they can be "popped" out easily, which is a simple in-office surgical procedure under local anesthesia.
This patient's lipoma was a real workout and MUCH bigger than it appeared. If every case were like this, I'd never need to go to the gym hehe 💪🏼❤️💥
This sweet patient of mine has a Popaholic brother who told her she needed to come see me for her Lipoma... so this excellent pop is dedicated to him!

Everyone can use a transformation from time to time, especially when you have a nice, squeezable lipoma to get rid of. Isn't this fella cute?
This lipoma was in and out and all about! Reminded me of the cute little meerkats with their sporadic movements. What do you think?
I thought this superficial shoulder was going to be an easy squeeze, but it had other plans!
Sometimes, Lipomas get tangled in a "netting" of sorts and it makes them difficult to remove. We got it all though and I know this patient is happy with the results!

Everything is better with a helping hand, or two, especially popping out a lipoma! My assistants always know exactly how to help; whether it's translating important information and comfort to a patient or a big squeeze to coax out a stubborn lipoma, these girls are the best around!
I don't want to be a chicken, I don't want to be a duck... I just want to extract this lipoma!
We all love a good forehead lipoma, and this one was quick and painless, BUT super tiny.
It's time to learn about the fat cell utopias we all know and love!
Saying goodbye to this lipoma on the neck after 15 years!
This lipoma required a lot of picking but we got it all!
This patient's lipoma is awesome, BUT his hair is the main event!
