A: Lipoma diagnosis

Lipomas can range from very small to massive, and they can appear anywhere on the body. Most experienced doctors can diagnose a lipoma with high probability by feel alone. Smaller lipomas can generally be removed under local anesthesia in an office setting. Larger lipomas or lipomas in difficult areas may require a trip to the operating room to remove.

What Type of Doctor Should I Consult About Lipoma Removal? 2 Lipomas: One on Face Corner of Ear and Jaw and Other is on Head Close to Neck. The one on face is for more than 15 years and 2nd on head is for about 5 to 6 years

A: Lipoma removal

Lipomas are simply small masses of fatty tissue. They are not cancerous and removal is strictly a cosmetic issue. They can occur anywhere on the body. They can be very small or very large. Smaller lipomas are usually removed by making a small incision and simply removing them. Very large lipomas may be removed using liposuction in order to avoid a large scar. The primary risk of removing a lipoma is that they have a possiblity of returning if the entire lipoma is not removed. Any surgeon can remove a lipoma, however, a plastic surgeon may give you the best chance for a thin, well-hidden scar.
