Introduction to Cosmetic Mole & Lipoma Removal

Moles, which are sometimes called “beauty marks,” and fatty lumps, otherwise known as lipomas, may be harmless, but if they bother you from a cosmetic standpoint, Dr. Morgan Rabach and her team at LM Medical NYC can help you remove them with little downtime and discomfort. With a focus on comfort, precision, and results, Dr. Morgan and her team will help you safely and painlessly put those unwanted growths behind you.

What is a Cosmetic Mole?

A cosmetic mole is a small, pigmented spot or growth on the skin that some people find desirable for its aesthetic appeal. These moles are typically flat or raised, dark brown or black, and may appear anywhere on the body. Cosmetic moles are benign and usually do not pose any health risk, but some may choose to have them removed if they are too large, in a prominent spot, or just no longer desired.

What is Lipoma?

A lipoma is a benign tumor made up of fat cells, typically found just under the skin. These soft, rubbery growths can vary in size from small to large and tend to move slightly when touched. Lipomas are usually painless, but some people may experience discomfort, especially if they press against nearby nerves or tissues. They are the most common type of soft tissue tumor in adults.

Lipomas are generally slow-growing and do not pose a serious health risk. They can occur anywhere on the body but are most often found on the upper body, arms, or thighs.

Treatment Options for Cosmetic Mole Removal

Cosmetic mole removal can be done using several techniques depending on the mole’s size and location. The mole and surrounding tissue will be removed for excisional surgery, often requiring stitches and a longer recovery. Shave removal is a quicker, less invasive option for raised moles, though it’s unsuitable for deeper or cancerous ones. Laser removal uses focused light to break down mole tissue, which is ideal for flat, pigmented moles with minimal downtime. Dr. Morgan Rabach and the team at LM Medical NYC can help determine the best method for your needs.

Treatment Options for Lipoma Removal

Small lipomas can often be removed during a quick in-office procedure. Dr. Morgan Rabach typically performs excision, where the lump is carefully cut out. These smaller lipomas are often easily addressed with minimal recovery time, leaving little scarring.

What is the Recovery Like After Cosmetic Mole & Lipoma Removal

Immediately after the removal, you may experience some swelling, redness, or mild discomfort at the site. This is common and will subside within a few days. It’s important to keep the area clean, apply any prescribed ointments, and avoid direct sun exposure.

Some stitches are involved in larger lipomas or more complex mole removals, which require careful care and a follow-up appointment to check healing progress. Most people can return to normal activities within a few days to a week.
