Lipomas

Lipomas are benign tumours composed of fatty tissue that typically develop just beneath the skin, presenting as soft, movable lumps. At sk:INSPIRE Medical, our doctors specialise in diagnosing and treating lipomas to ensure both cosmetic enhancement and patient comfort.

During your consultation, our doctors will conduct a comprehensive assessment to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the characteristics of your lipomas. While lipomas are generally harmless, they can cause discomfort or aesthetic concerns, especially when they grow in size or become noticeable.

Treatment options for lipomas may include observation or surgical excision, depending on factors such as the size, location, and symptoms associated with the lipoma. Observation may be recommended for asymptomatic or small lipomas that do not interfere with daily activities. Surgical excision involves removing the lipoma through a minor surgical procedure, while liposuction may be suitable for larger lipomas or those located in challenging areas.

Our doctors develop a personalised treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
