I have a good size fatty tumor right below my chest on right front/side and against my ribs.

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.

Best,

Thank you for sharing your question.  It is possible to remove a number of lipomas at a single setting.  Hope this helps.

I typically remove multiple lipomas at the same time as simple office procedures in my office using local anesthesia only
