I need lipoma removal on back of head mid-scalp area, the size is about 2 inches wide, just soft, fatty liquid. Outpatient hospital is too expensive, can I do local anesthesia at a doctor's office?

Answer: Local anesthesia and lipoma removal I remove a lot of lipomas and typically they are done with a local anesthesia in an accredited facility with a well trained surgeon. I have done a few under general anesthesia and these were done due to large multiple amounts of lipomas removed at one time. Lipoma removal is a very safe and commonly performed surgery with local. The risk of complications are very minimal and should be a simple task for a skilled surgeon. Best regards!
