Lipomas are the adipose tumors that usually occur in the subcutaneous tissues of the head, neck, shoulders and back. These slow-growing, almost always benign, tumors typically present as non-painful, round, mobile masses with a characteristic soft, doughy feel. Lipomas can rarely be linked with syndromes such as hereditary multiple lipomatosis, adiposis dolorosa, Gardner's syndrome and Madelung's disease. The outcome and prognosis of lipoma excision are excellent for benign lipomas.

How is the mole excision performed?

The surgeon employs a scalpel to cut the mole and a border of good skin surrounding it. The surgeon will decide on the size of this border. Stitches are positioned either deep within the skin, or on the upper surface, depending on the depth of the excision. For the procedure that entails no stitches, a scalpel is applied to shave the mole allowing it to be flush with the surrounding skin. Next, via an electrical instrument, the doctor cauterizes the area to prevent any bleeding.
