Lipoma Excision
A lipoma is a benign, slow-growing fatty lump that develops beneath the skin. It is usually soft, painless, and movable, and commonly occurs in the neck, shoulder, back, arms, scalp, and behind the ear.
Although harmless, lipomas may require surgical removal if they increase in size, cause discomfort, restrict movement, or create cosmetic concerns.
