Introduction
If you have a lipoma that is causing you great discomfort, you’re in the right place. Dr. Joan Grace Valina at Grace Surgical Arts in Coral Gables, FL, servicing the Miami metropolitan area, specializes in lipoma removal, using a personalized approach to ensure smooth and effective results.
Dr. Valina takes a personalized approach to each lipoma removal, ensuring that your procedure is as seamless and efficient as possible. Whether your lipoma is small or larger, Dr. Valina promises your treatment will be designed with the best possible outcome and minimal downtime.
Liposomal removal is a simple procedure for getting rid of fatty lumps, known as lipomas, that form just under the skin. These lumps are typically soft, movable, and harmless, but they can be annoying if they become too large or are in a visible spot. The procedure involves carefully removing the lipoma to leave behind smooth, natural-looking skin with minimal scarring.
Removing a lipoma can alleviate any discomfort it might be causing. If the lump presses against nerves, muscles, or skin, it can lead to irritation or pain. By having it removed, you can enjoy more freedom in your daily activities and feel more comfortable and confident in your body.
The best candidates for lipoma removal are those who have one or more lipomas that are causing physical discomfort, growing in size, or affecting their appearance. If a lipoma is becoming painful or restricting movement, removal can help relieve these issues.
It’s important to understand that while lipoma removal can effectively address the physical and cosmetic concerns, there may be scarring or other minor side effects.

For lipoma removal, Dr. Valina marks the area where the lipoma is located to plan the best incision. Then, local anesthesia is applied to numb the area, ensuring comfort throughout the procedure.
Dr. Valina makes a small incision over the lipoma, carefully removing the fatty tissue with minimal disruption to the surrounding skin. If the lipoma is larger or deeply embedded, she may break it up to ensure it comes out in one piece. Once the lipoma is removed, the area is cleaned, and the incision is closed with fine sutures, often using dissolvable stitches, so you won’t need to return for removal.
Your Guide to Post-Lipomal Removal Care
The recovery process after your lipoma removal is smooth and straightforward. Although you may initially notice some minor swelling or discomfort, it’s usually short-lived. Dr. Valina will give you all the guidance you need to manage these sensations and heal quickly.
You’ll be able to return to most daily activities soon after surgery. However, we advise taking it easy with activities like heavy lifting or exercise for a short period to avoid unnecessary strain on the treated area. With time, any scar from the procedure will fade and become less noticeable.
Throughout your recovery, Dr. Valina will contact you to ensure you’re healing as expected and support you in achieving the optimal result.
