Lipoma (Fatty Lump) Removal
A lipoma is a slow-growing, benign (non-cancerous) mass of fat cells located just beneath the skin. They feel soft, doughy, and easily slip under the fingers when pressed. While lipomas are harmless, they can grow larger, cause aching when pressing on nerves, or become cosmetically bothersome.
Dr. Majethiya Jalpesh performs micro-incision lipoma excision under local anesthesia. The entire fibrous capsule is carefully dissected out in one piece, preventing regrowth and leaving a tiny, cosmetically refined scar.

When the entire lipoma and its surrounding capsule are cleanly excised, it almost never regrows at the same spot.
No. Lipoma removal is a quick in-clinic or daycare procedure; you can resume normal desk work on the very same day.
