Lipoma Removal (And a Small Cyst, Too)

Prntg2011 • Maryland • Created 3 months ago

In 2014 I noticed an odd lump on the left side of my neck. Concerned, I made appointment with
my PCP. She told me that it was most likely a lipoma, which didn't need to be removed unless it
began to bother me. It continued to grow slowly throughout 2014 until it was about an inch long,

have had about 20 removed, 4 to 5 at a time, and always under local anesthetic. Insurance
dictated which ones could be removed (i.e., covered under my plan), and the cost was never fully

Highly reccomend amazing surgeon

Wowhappy • New York, NY • Created 8 months ago

Dr. Paul is amazing he removed a lipoma from my above my eyebrow. I was a bit nervous about
surgery on my face as I generally scar easily, 9 months later you can’t tell that I had surgery. I
would highly recommend Dr. Paul. I researched a lot of doctors in he was by far the best. READ

Initially I was pleased with Dr. Kim. He seemed cordial enough, although most of our interactions

Dr. Hsiao is very nice and professional but also down to earth. I think a sign of a good doctor is
he/she telling you what could possibly go wrong. Run the other way if a surgeon tells you "this will
be so easy, no problems at all" because that isn't ever the case in life. In just meeting... READ
