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

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Lipoma Removal Service

It’s completely normal to have questions before you book, especially if this is your first minor procedure. Check out the quick answers below, and reach out if you’d like a private assessment.

How long does lipoma removal take?

Most removals take about 20–45 minutes, depending on the lipoma’s size and location.

Will there be a scar?

You’ll have a small scar, but we aim for the smallest practical incision and use careful closure techniques to keep it as minimal as we can.

Is lipoma removal covered by OHIP?

OHIP typically doesn’t cover removal when the lipoma is clearly benign, and the reason is comfort or cosmetic concerns. If we suspect an abnormality, the next step is usually an image-guided biopsy to confirm the diagnosis rather than removal.

Can multiple lipomas be removed at once?

In many cases, we can remove more than one, and we’ll confirm what’s realistic and appropriate during your consultation.
