When should you remove lipoma?
Cosmetic Concerns
Many people remove lipomas for aesthetic reasons to improve their appearance and to boost self-confidence.
Discomfort or Pain
While most lipomas are painless, they can cause discomfort or pain if they press on nerves, or grow near joints.
Growth or Size Increase
If a lipoma increases significantly in size, it may become more noticeable or uncomfortable.
‘Scarless’ Head Lipoma Removal
Sometimes, a surgical removal may cause scarring and may not be ideal especially if it is on the face (forehead).
Our consultant plastic surgeon, Dr Andrew Cheah, will assess if your condition is suitable for an endoscopic removal method. Using the Athrex nanoscope, a small incision is made in the hairline to avoid any incision on the visible part of the face.
