Answer: It is best to seek a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon for optimal results especially with scarring. Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia. We would have to remove the lipoma to be sure that it is not something else and we usually do this by sending it to a pathologist for evaluation. If a lipoma is painful, then an exam is needed to make sure it is not compressing on a nerve or whether the diagnosis is different. Aftercare for a lipoma includes gentle compression and Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily on the wound.

Answer: Lipotoma Hello,Lipoma removal on the scalp can be removed and is not dangerous if it is in fact a lipoma. Rare cases of fatty tumors have been described. Most often it is removed under local anesthesia comfortably and best to have a lipoma removed with a minimal incision.
