Lipoma surgery is a procedure used to remove a lipoma, which is a benign (noncancerous) fatty tumor. Lipomas are usually soft, painless, and movable under the skin. They can occur anywhere on the body, but they are most common on the arms, legs, trunk, and neck.
Lipoma surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, which means that you will be awake but your area will be numb. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used. The surgeon will make a small incision over the lipoma and then use a scalpel or other surgical tool to remove it. The incision will then be closed with stitches.
