Although it poses no danger, having a depression in the area following lipoma removal is quite common if it is not reconstructed properly. That is why it is important to have a plastic surgeon remove medium and large sized lipomas so that they may fill the space with your own tissue and avoid this problem.

Can you please, give me the name of your provider to remove a lipoma? I live in Glendale, near Los Angeles. Thankyou so much.
