Lipoma Removal in Bratislava
A lump of fatty tissue under the skin can be simply a cosmetic concern, but it often causes physical discomfort as well. Whether your lipoma restricts movement, irritates you under clothing, or simply needs assessment, at Dermarevolta we approach the issue with medical expertise. Procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia, with the utmost emphasis on patient safety, strict surgical standards and the best possible aesthetic result for the skin.
Procedures we perform
A lipoma is a benign subcutaneous growth made up of fatty tissue. Although it does not usually pose an acute risk, its gradual growth can put pressure on surrounding structures, nerves or muscles and cause pain. A thorough medical examination is essential for accurate differential diagnosis and to distinguish it from other lesions. Surgical excision is a well-established medical approach for safely removing such a growth and preventing it from enlarging further.
Specialist Assessment of the Growth
The doctor assesses the size and margins of the growth by palpation. In unclear cases, an additional ultrasound examination may be recommended for more precise diagnosis.
Surgical Excision of the Lipoma
The removal itself is performed using classic surgical excision. This approach is the most medically reliable and minimises the chance of the growth recurring.
Administration of Local Anaesthesia
To ensure comfort, a local anaesthetic is applied around the lipoma before the procedure. This makes the procedure gentle, and the patient goes home afterwards.
Precise Suturing Technique
We use fine materials and techniques adapted to the natural skin lines to close the wound. The main aim is to leave as inconspicuous a scar as possible.
Laboratory Assessment
We routinely send every tissue sample for analysis to confirm the histological nature of the growth and to have full medical certainty about its origin.
Follow-up Check-up and Dressing
After an appropriate period, the patient is invited back to have the stitches removed, and we check the healing process to achieve a satisfactory final result.
Surgical Lipoma Removal in Practice
Cost of Lipoma Removal: What Does It Depend On?
The cost of the procedure can vary depending on several factors. Key factors include the size of the lipoma, its exact location on the body, its depth beneath the skin and the resulting complexity of the procedure. The extent of local anaesthesia used is also taken into account. The doctor will determine the exact price after examination, based on the actual scope of the planned procedure.

When should you consider having a lipoma removed?
- The lump is located somewhere that interferes with everyday movement or presses uncomfortably on the surrounding tissue.
- The lump sits in an area of friction under clothing, which often causes uncomfortable surface skin irritation.
- You've noticed that the lump has recently changed in size, or become firmer or painful.
- The lump is visible on exposed areas of the body and understandably causes you to feel self-conscious about your appearance.
- Your dermatologist has directly recommended a surgical assessment and removal of the tissue.
- You'd like peace of mind and want reliable laboratory confirmation that the lump is benign and harmless.
