Lipoma Treatment and Removal near Wollongong

A lipoma is a non-cancerous lump made up of fatty tissue. They usually grow slowly, feel soft, and cause no medical problems. Many remain small and painless, requiring no treatment.

Some people, however, consider lipoma removal when the lump:

• Causes pain or tenderness
• Restricts movement or daily activities
• Increases in size over time
• Creates a cosmetic concern

At BB Clinic, every patient receives a thorough assessment. If lipoma tumour removal is recommended, all options are explained clearly, with risks, benefits, and recovery discussed openly.

The treatment approach depends on the size, location, and effect of the lipoma:

• Surgical Removal (Lipoma Surgery): Usually performed under local or general anaesthesia in a hospital setting. It is the most reliable way to remove a lipoma completely.
• Minor Removal Under Local Anaesthetic: Suitable for smaller or easily accessible lipomas, with minimal downtime.

At BB Clinic, we prioritise safety and precision, aiming for complete removal with minimal scarring. Many patients choose us for lipoma removal surgery near Wollongong, NSW, trusting our blend of medical expertise and aesthetic consideration.

Like any surgery, lipoma removal has some risks, such as bleeding, infection, scarring, or (rarely) recurrence. We’ll explain these clearly, so you know what to expect.

Most patients return to light activities within a few days. Aftercare includes keeping the site clean, avoiding strenuous activity until cleared, and attending follow-up checks. Our team remains available to support you throughout your post-surgery recovery.

Many patients inquire about the cost of lipoma removal surgery. Fees vary based on the size, number, and location of lipomas, as well as the applicability of private health insurance. During your consultation, we provide a transparent outline of expected costs to avoid any surprises.
