Lipoma

EXPLORE

A lipoma is a benign and common type of soft tissue tumor characterized by the growth of fat cells beneath the skin. These slow-growing, painless lumps typically feel soft and movable when touched. Lipomas can occur anywhere on the body where fat cells are present and often manifest as small, round nodules.


While lipomas are generally harmless and do not pose a cancer risk, they can be a source of cosmetic concern or discomfort if they press against nerves or adjacent structures. In such cases, surgical removal may be considered, primarily for aesthetic reasons or if the lipoma causes symptoms.


Most lipomas do not require treatment unless they become bothersome or painful. However, if a lump is growing rapidly, has irregular features, or is associated with pain, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation, as these characteristics could indicate a more serious condition that requires further investigation.

Had a large mole removed off the back of my head using PLEX-R. Painless and quick procedure. Healed incredibly well and hair grew back where the mole was originally. My barber who always used to catch the mole when cutting my hair couldn't even tell me where the mole was. Extremely happy with the results. Thank you.

I recently had my tear trough procedure and I’m absolutely delighted with the results. I felt very comfortable and in safe hands. The procedure was well explained and done with such care. It did not hurt one bit and the results are well worth it. Over the moon thank you skin sense. Would definitely recommend this clinic for a professional and safe place to have procedures!

As a mature lady I had my first lip filler experience with Dr. Lanka. I cannot thank her enough. I just wanted less of a thin lip. She made me feel at ease straightaway and the result was amazing. She also did my marionette lines. No one could tell what I had done but all my friends thought I looked great but couldn't tell why. I feel so much more confident in my looks. I have recommended Dr Lanka to several people an I will definitely be going back for further treatments in the future. Yvonne.

I Had a 10cm lipoma removed which was attached to the muscles on my back. I'm Very impressed with the quality of service I received. All the staff at the clinic were very warm & welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. The receptionist was lovely and the Skin Sense GP Clinic team are professional and very attentive. I Was not sure what clinic to use at first and I am glad I chose the Skin Sense GP Clinic because, just like everyone else, I want to make sure the surgery will be professional and definitely made the right choice with Dr Soumya Lanka and Dr Raghuram Lanka which are most professional Doctors I ever meet. A big thank you and keep up the good work. I would definitely recommend you go to Skin Sense GP Clinic for expert care and advice!

I phoned Skin Sense at 0940. I got an appointment at 1200 (a cancellation) and by 1315 the minor procedure I'd been promising myself to have done for nearly two years, was done. The whole process was unbelievably thorough, quick, painless and efficient. I can't thank the team there enough.

I have been seeing Dr Lanka for sometime now and she’s absolutely amazing. She has for sure transformed my skin with the Obagi products and always at hand when I need her. I recently took my 15 year old for a consultation as I have been desperately waiting on the nhs. She was so prompt with the appointment, diagnosis and treatment. I felt at ease, as what I would have waited 13 months on the nhs, Dr Lanka helped within a day. Dr Lanka is incredible, highly recommend.
