Welcome to our specialised lipoma removal service in Edinburgh, Scotland. Lipomas are common, benign growths made up of fatty tissue that can appear anywhere on the body. These lumps are typically soft, movable, and painless, but they can vary in size and may cause concern due to their location, size, or visual impact. It’s important to monitor any changes in your lipomas, as growth or discomfort could indicate a need for medical attention.
We are dedicated to the safe and precise removal of lipomas, tailoring the procedure to meet your individual needs. Our focus is on careful removal while aiming for the best possible aesthetic results. During your personalised consultation, we will identify the most effective method for removing your lipoma, ensuring that your safety and satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome are our top priorities.

We offer two private lipoma removal options tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients and strive for both optimal medical outcomes and aesthetic excellence.
The most common method, involving a small incision over the lipoma to remove it. This is effective for larger lipomas and typically leaves a small scar.
A less invasive option for softer lipomas, using a thin tube to suction out the fatty tissue. This method results in a smaller scar but is suitable only for specific lipomas and may have a higher risk of recurrence.
At the Edinburgh Waterfront Private Hospital, your safety and cosmetic goals are our top priority. During your initial consultation, our specialist will conduct a thorough assessment of your lipoma. We tailor each removal strategy to fit your needs, considering the lipoma’s size, location, and your personal preferences to ensure the most effective treatment plan.
If appropriate, we can often perform lipoma removal immediately, eliminating the need for a further appointment. Our focus on post-procedure care helps promote optimal healing and reduces scarring, ensuring you receive exceptional results and the highest standard of care for private lipoma removal in Edinburgh, Scotland

A lipoma is a non-cancerous growth made up of fatty tissue. These lumps are usually soft to the touch, can be moved slightly under the skin, and are generally painless. Lipomas can develop anywhere on the body, but they are most frequently found on the torso, neck, upper thighs, arms, and armpits.
While lipomas are typically harmless, removal may be advisable if they cause discomfort, grow larger, or lead to cosmetic concerns. Additionally, if there is any uncertainty about whether the growth is a lipoma or something more serious, removal and further analysis may be recommended.
We offer a range of lipoma removal techniques, including:
The recurrence of a lipoma after removal is uncommon. Typically, when a lipoma is surgically removed, it is completely excised, which significantly lowers the chance of it coming back. However, it’s important to note that new lipomas may still develop in other areas.
Recovery times can vary depending on the method used for removal. Surgical excision may require a few days of rest, while liposuction and minimal incision extraction might allow for a quicker recovery. We provide all patients with detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth and speedy healing process.
As with any surgery, there are some risks involved, although they are generally minimal. Possible risks include infection, bleeding, or scarring. We take all necessary precautions to minimise these risks and ensure a safe and successful procedure.
Before your surgery, you'll have a consultation to discuss the procedure, potential risks, and how to prepare. Preparation may involve guidelines on eating, drinking, and any adjustments to medications you may need to make.
