Understanding Lipomas
What Triggers Lipomas?
Lipomas develop when fat cells accumulate beneath the skin, forming a lump. The precise cause of lipoma formation is often unknown, but certain factors can contribute to their development:
- Genetic factors: A family history of lipomas may increase the risk of developing them.
- Injury or trauma: While rare, an injury to the skin can sometimes cause a lipoma to form.
- Underlying medical conditions: Some individuals with conditions like familial multiple lipomatosis may be more likely to develop lipomas.
Common Locations for Lipomas:
- Upper arms
- Shoulders
- Back
- Thighs
- Neck
- Chest
Types of Lipomas:
- Superficial Lipomas: These are located just beneath the skin, feel soft to the touch, and are movable.
- Deep Lipomas: Found deeper within the body’s tissues, these may cause more pain and require more advanced treatment methods.
- Fibrous Lipomas: These are made of fibrous tissue, giving them a firmer feel.
- Pleomorphic Lipomas: A rarer type that may grow larger and require more complex treatment.

How Is My Treatment Plan Created?
We tailor each treatment plan to your lipoma’s specific characteristics—such as its size, location, and whether it’s causing discomfort or aesthetic concerns. Our goal is to deliver the best possible medical and cosmetic outcome with as little downtime as possible.
