Lipoma excision on the Right Forehead: Dr Pimple Popper

Really sweet guy accompanied by his popaholic girlfriend who travelled from Northern California to see me! He didn’t know about Dr Pimple Popper, but many of his friends approached him and told him that DrPP needs to get rid of this bump on his head. Great guy and wonderful girlfriend. You should marry her! 😜

Thank you for watching!!

A lipoma is slow-growing, benign growth of fat cells. It is contained in a thin, fibrous capsule and found right under the skin. A lipoma is typically not tender and moves around easily with slight pressure. A lipoma is not cancerous and treatment generally is not necessary. There is also a condition called familial lipomatosus, where people develop multiple lipomas, especially on the arms and legs, and other family members have these growths as well. If the lipoma is on a pressure-bearing area, it may create discomfort and this is when people seek removal. People also request removal because they don’t like the appearance of these bumps. Often a small incision can be made over the lipoma and they can be “popped” out easily. This is a simple in-office surgical procedure under local anesthesia.
