Private Lipoma Removal in Birmingham, Cardiff, Shrewsbury & Wolverhampton

Although lipomas are harmless and usually don’t require any treatment, they can become unsightly if they are in an obvious position and begin to affect your confidence, or they can start to cause discomfort. NHS GPs will rarely, if ever, refer you for a lipoma removal, however, private lipoma removal is an option

If you would like your lipoma removed and would like to be seen quickly, enquire with us today and we can provide you with a cost of removal.

FAQs

What is a lipoma? 

What is the Lipoma Removal Surgery process? 

Because lipomas vary in size and can appear anywhere on the body, the surgical procedures used depend on the nature and location of the lipoma. Before any surgery, you will see one of our consultants who will be able to talk you through the procedure step-by-step and answer any questions you may have.

Lipomas are removed at Summerfield Healthcare by performing a small operation under local anaesthetic. 

Once the skin is numb, a small incision is made in the skin over the lump, and the lump is removed. The cut is then cleaned and stitched and in most cases there is only minimal scarring from the procedure. 

Stitches (sutures) are typically used to close the incision as we will be closing multiple layers of tissue. Stitches offer optimal healing and need to be removed 7-14 days after the procedure. Our team will assist you in arranging your suture removal as part of our aftercare treatment.

Do I need a referral?

You do not need a referral to book your lipoma removal consultation with our plastic surgeon led team.

As the NHS views lipoma removal as cosmetic only, the procedure is not available through your NHS GP. We offer a fast track consultation service as well as the removal itself so that you don’t need to worry about getting a diagnosis or the right referral.

Using our service also guarantees quick appointment times that suit you. We do not have long waiting lists, and our service is flexible so that we can accommodate your needs. 

We offer lipoma removal in Wolverhampton, and lipoma removal in Shrewsbury, both performed in one of our state-of-the-art clinics. 

After the surgery, you have the option to decide whether you would like us to inform your NHS GP of the surgery. All our procedures are private and confidential, and this decision is entirely at your discretion.
