Can I self remove a lipoma under my eye? (Photos)

No, I would definitely not attempt to remove a lipoma on your own. This could be very risky especially around your eyes and you may cause permanent damage or major scarring. I highly recommend that you book and in person consultation with a dermatologist or board certified plastic surgeon in order to assess whether what you have is a lipoma and to determine whether surgical removal is the best option for you. When removed expertly a lipoma should not grow back in the same area and there should be very little scarring if any.

First, you will need an exam to help establish a diagnosis. If this is truly a lipoma, excision would be the standard treatment. A plastic surgeon can help you with this.

It would be helpful to examine you to determine what the mass might be under your eye.  It is possible that it is a lipoma but it could be something else as well.  You would not be able to safely remove this mass under your eye.  It is something that definitely needs to be done by a surgeon.  I would recommend consulting with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  There is no way to remove a lipoma on your own, as it requires a surgical procedure.  Seek out a specialist in your area to confirm the diagnosis and offer treatment advice. 

Dear 2KayTrey,
I would not recommend you to do anything. If you have a growth there, it is best to visit a board certified plastic surgeon and get an examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
