About Lipoma Excision
“A minor surgical procedure focused on safe removal and tissue preservation”
Lipoma excision is a minor surgical procedure performed to remove a lipoma, which is a benign fatty growth that develops beneath the skin. Under the care of Dr. Saima Waris, based in Lahore and serving patients from Lahore and across Pakistan, each case is evaluated carefully to confirm diagnosis and determine suitability for removal. The objective is to safely excise the lesion while minimizing discomfort and supporting proper healing.
What You Need to Know
Lipomas are generally soft, slow-growing, and non-cancerous lumps composed of fatty tissue. Excision may be considered if the lipoma causes discomfort, increases in size, becomes cosmetically concerning, or interferes with daily activities. Suitability for the procedure is determined after medical history review and physical examination. In some cases, additional evaluation may be advised before surgery. Healing timelines and outcomes vary between individuals.

Lipoma excision is typically performed under local anesthesia in a controlled clinical setting. During consultation, the size, location, and characteristics of the lipoma are assessed to plan the surgical approach. The aim is complete removal of the growth while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
Patients are informed about the possibility of mild swelling, temporary discomfort, or scarring depending on the size and location of the lesion. Clear wound care instructions are provided, and follow-up visits are scheduled when necessary to monitor healing.
