Lipoma Treatment in Wisconsin
A lipoma (li-pom-uh) is a growth of fat cells under the skin, usually the size of a grape. They do not go away over time and can become painful when pressure occurs on a nerve. Lipomas also cause cosmetic concerns and embarrassment, especially when they occur on areas of the body that are visible.
Typically, lipoma removal is covered by insurance.
Drs. David Janssen and William Doubek are experts in lipoma removal. The Wisconsin Plastic Surgeons are helping women and men from places such as Milwaukee, Appleton, Green Bay and Marquette perfect their personal Renaissance.

Lipoma Procedures at Fox Valley Plastic Surgery
To perform a lipoma removal, Dr. David Janssen or Dr. William Doubek make a precise incision that is smaller than the size of the lipoma. They press the surrounding tissue to carefully deliver the lipoma out of the skin. For particularly large lipomas, they may choose to use liposuction. The benefit of liposuction is the ability to remove a large lipoma through a small incision. Finally, meticulous suturing is performed to create a cosmetically appropriate result.
