Is It Possible to Completely and Thoroughly Remove a Lipoma?

Asked By:Amy1960 in Knoxville, TN

I have a rather large lipoma on my upper back. I had a similar mass removed surgically several years ago, but it returned. This is unsightly, and I would very much like to have it removed if there is any way to ensure that it will not return. Thank you for your time and expertise. Photo attached.
