What is a Lipoma?
A lipoma is a common, benign (non-cancerous) lump made of fatty tissue that grows slowly just under the skin. It often feels soft, a bit “doughy,” and you can usually move it slightly under your fingers. Lipomas can show up almost anywhere, but they’re most common on the back, neck, shoulders, arms, abdomen, or thighs.
Key features of a lipoma:
- Usually painless
- Often around 1–6 cm, though some can grow larger
- Can affect men and women
- More common after age 40
Although lipomas are typically harmless, many patients choose lipoma excisions for comfort, appearance, or peace of mind.
Why Remove a Lipoma?
A lipoma might not be dangerous, but it can still be frustrating to live with. Many people decide to remove theirs because they’re tired of feeling it, seeing it, or working around it.
People often book lipoma removal for:
- Cosmetic concerns, especially if the lump is visible on the neck, arms, or face
- Daily irritation, like rubbing against clothing, straps, or a seatbelt
- Restricted movement, particularly with lipomas near the shoulder or thigh
