Lipoma is a common benign (non-cancerous) soft tissue tumor made up of fatty tissue that develops just beneath the skin. It usually appears as a soft, slow-growing, movable lump and can occur anywhere on the body, most commonly on the neck, shoulders, back, arms, thighs, or abdomen. Although lipomas are generally harmless, they may cause discomfort, pain, cosmetic concerns, or interfere with daily activities depending on their size and location.

Using modern surgical techniques and a patient-centered approach, she ensures accurate diagnosis, safe removal, minimal scarring, and a smooth recovery with excellent cosmetic outcomes.
