Understanding Lipomas
What Causes Lipomas?
Lipomas form when fat cells accumulate in a lump beneath the skin. The exact cause of lipoma formation is not always clear, but factors that may contribute include:
- Genetic predisposition: Family history of lipomas
- Trauma or injury: Rare, but injury to the skin can trigger lipoma development
- Other medical conditions: In some cases, lipomas can form in people with certain conditions like familial multiple lipomatosis
Common Locations for Lipomas:
- Upper arms
- Shoulders
- Back
- Thighs
- Neck
- Chest
Types of Lipomas:
- Superficial Lipomas: Typically located just beneath the skin, soft to the touch, and movable
- Deep Lipomas: Located deeper within the body’s tissues, these may be more painful and require specialized treatment
- Fibrous Lipomas: Contain more fibrous tissue, causing them to feel firmer
- Pleomorphic Lipomas: A rarer form that can grow larger and may require more complex treatment

How Is My Treatment Plan Developed?
Each treatment plan is customized based on your lipoma’s characteristics, such as size, location, and whether it is causing discomfort or aesthetic concerns. We ensure the procedure is tailored to achieve the best cosmetic and medical results with as little downtime as possible.
