Had a wonderful experience with Dr Ken and his staff with my forehead lipoma removal. Thorough in planning before the procedure and so far, l've had a great experience with aftercare. When I had any questions there was always someone available to answer them.

Understanding Lipomas: What You Should Know
Lipomas are benign (non-cancerous) growths of fat cells just beneath the skin.
Characteristics:
- Soft, rubbery texture
- Round or oval, usually movable
- Typically painless, slow-growing
- Vary in size from small to several inches
Common locations include the neck, shoulders, back, arms, thighs, and abdomen. Causes may involve genetics, trauma, or metabolic factors; most common in middle age.
While medically benign, these growths can impact quality of life:
- Physical discomfort: Pressure on nerves or tissues.
- Mobility issues: If near joints.
- Aesthetic concerns: Affecting appearance and confidence.
- Practical difficulties: Interfering with clothing or activities.
- Psychological impact: Causing anxiety or self-consciousness.
Many choose removal even without pain to address these concerns.
Why Professional Removal Matters
Professional removal by a specialist like Dr. Ken Otouke offers significant advantages over non-professional methods:
- Complete Removal: Ensures the entire growth.
- Minimised Recurrence: Proper technique drastically reduces the chance of regrowth.
- Optimal Aesthetic Results: Techniques designed to minimise visible scarring.
- Effective Pain Management: Local anesthesia ensures a comfortable procedure.
- Enhanced Safety: Performed in a sterile, CQC-regulated clinical environment.
- Peace of Mind: Confirmation that the growth is benign.
You might consider removal if your lipoma:
- Causes pain, tenderness, or discomfort.
- Interferes with movement or daily activities (e.g., dressing, exercise).
- Is located in a cosmetically sensitive area and affects your confidence.
- Has noticeably increased in size.
- Becomes frequently irritated or inflamed due to friction.
- Causes anxiety regarding its nature or appearance.
Even if a growth seems typical, professional assessment is vital to:
- Confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions.
- Identify any unusual features requiring further investigation.
- Determine the most suitable removal technique for optimal results.
- Assess if histological analysis (lab testing) of the tissue is advisable.
- Develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Dr. Ken Otouke uses meticulous Treatments techniques, placing incisions carefully (often in natural skin creases) and using fine sutures to minimise scarring. While any incision leaves a mark, most scars heal very well and fade significantly over 6-12 months. Scar care advice is provided.
