What removal involves

Lipomas - soft, fatty lumps under the skin - are removed under local anaesthetic by a qualified GP surgeon in our treatment room. The procedure takes 45-60 minutes depending on size and position, and starts with a consultation to confirm removal is appropriate.

Where clinically appropriate, removed tissue is sent for laboratory analysis; the doctor will tell you whether that applies in your case before you agree to anything.

Cost and recovery

You get a fixed quote at the consultation, before anything is booked. A follow-up is arranged to check healing, and you will be told exactly how to look after the wound in the meantime.
