A member asked:
What procedure is good to remove lipomas, without leaving any scars, please? thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not possible: to remove lipomata with no scars, but plastic surgeons can try liposuction which leaves very small scars. If it is larger than 4 inches, or deeper than subcutaneous tissue, it should be removed surgically because they could be malignant in some cases.
