Lipomas are growths of fatty tissue underneath the skin. They can appear anywhere on the body where there are fat cells. Lipomas are common and not cancerous, but they can become inflamed and painful.

What Can I Expect after My Lipoma Treatment?

The recurrence rate and aesthetic results will depend on a variety of factors. Treatment performed, type and size of the lipoma, location on the body, skin elasticity, and sun damage will play a role. Optimal healing may require activity restrictions from 1-3 weeks depending on the site and complexity of the procedure. Swelling, bruising, tenderness, and mild discomfort are normal following treatment and typically resolve within a few days.
