Lipoma removal surgery is a procedure to remove a lipoma, which is a benign (non-cancerous) fatty tumor. Lipomas are usually soft and movable, and they can grow anywhere on the body. They are most common on the back, neck, shoulders, arms, and torso.

Lipoma removal surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes. The surgeon will make an incision over the lipoma and remove it. The incision is then closed with stitches.

The recovery time for lipoma removal surgery is typically about 1-2 weeks. You will need to wear a compression bandage on the incision site for a few days after surgery. You may also experience some pain and discomfort, which can be managed with medication.
