A lipoma is a benign fatty tumor. If it grows, bothers you, changes, or worries you, surgical removal is the definitive solution.
Common signs of lipomas and benign tumors
- Soft lump under the skin that moves when touched
- Slow growth of the lump over time
- Discomfort, pressure, or pain from clothing or activity
- Change in size, shape, or color that raises concern
- Several lumps in different areas of the body
- Cosmetic or functional limitation depending on location

Frequently asked questions
Does every lipoma need surgery?
Not always. Small, stable, painless lipomas can be watched. Removal is recommended when it grows, hurts, limits movement, or raises diagnostic doubt.
Can a lipoma be cancer?
Lipomas are benign. Still, any lump that grows quickly, hurts, or changes should be evaluated to rule out other lesions.
Will there be a large scar?
We aim for the smallest possible incision and careful closure. Cosmetic results are usually very good, especially with small lipomas.
Can more lipomas appear?
Some people tend to form several. Removing one does not prevent others elsewhere; each case is evaluated separately.
Do you have a lump under the skin that worries you?
Book an evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and decide whether removal is appropriate.
