Lipoma Removal in Long Island

Gentle, Precise Solutions for a Smoother Appearance

Lipoma removal in Garden City treats benign fatty lumps that form beneath the skin. These soft, mobile growths are noncancerous but can become bothersome or cosmetically distracting. Many patients choose treatment to restore a smooth skin contour and eliminate discomfort or visible bulges.

At New York Cosmetic Skin & Laser Surgery Center, we offer both surgical and non-surgical options. Small lipomas can be excised in-office under local anesthesia with a tiny incision, while larger growths may benefit from liposuction-assisted extraction. For those seeking scar-free care, Dr. Cameron Rokhsar also performs non-surgical lipoma reduction using Kybella injections, which gradually dissolve fat cells over several weeks.

Each treatment is customized to your comfort, lipoma size, and desired outcome. Whether you prefer an immediate removal or a minimally invasive approach, Dr. Rokhsar ensures a refined and permanent result.

Lipoma Removal Before and After

* Results May Vary.

How Long Does Lipoma Removal Last?

Most patients experience long-lasting or permanent results following lipoma removal in Garden City. Once the fatty tissue is surgically excised or dissolved with Kybella, it does not return. For surgical patients, results are immediate with a smoother, flatter skin surface.

Patients treated with Kybella notice gradual improvement over four to six weeks as the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells. Multiple sessions may enhance reduction for larger lipomas. Once resolved, recurrence is rare under Dr. Rokhsar’s care.

Whether surgical or non-surgical, patients enjoy permanent lipoma reduction, improved confidence, and smooth, natural skin texture without visible scarring. Dr. Rokhsar’s approach prioritizes both aesthetic outcome and long-term satisfaction.

Lipoma Removal Downtime or Side Effects

Most patients return to their daily activities immediately following lipoma removal in Garden City. When performed surgically, only mild swelling or tenderness may occur for one to two days, with minimal bruising that resolves quickly. Small incisions heal cleanly and rarely scar under Dr. Rokhsar’s refined technique.

Non-surgical Kybella treatment involves mild swelling or firmness for several days as the fat breaks down naturally. There are no sutures or bandages, and patients typically resume normal activities the same day.

Complications such as infection or recurrence are rare. Under the supervision of a board-certified dermatologic surgeon and fellowship-trained expert, both treatment options offer safe, effective outcomes with minimal downtime and lasting results.

Long Island Lipoma Removal FAQs

Is lipoma removal painful?

Most patients report little to no pain during the procedure. Dr. Rokhsar uses local anesthesia for surgical cases and numbing injections for Kybella treatments, ensuring comfort throughout the process. Any mild soreness afterward typically resolves within 24–48 hours.

How long does lipoma removal take?

Depending on the method and lipoma size, procedures take between 10 and 30 minutes. Surgical excision offers instant results, while non-surgical Kybella sessions take only minutes and require no downtime.

Can lipomas return after treatment?

Recurrence is rare. Once the fatty tissue is removed surgically or destroyed by Kybella, it does not regenerate. Dr. Rokhsar’s precise technique minimizes the chance of regrowth or scarring.

Who is a good candidate for lipoma removal?

Ideal candidates are healthy adults with one or more lipomas seeking removal for comfort or cosmetic reasons. Patients looking for a scar-free option may benefit from Kybella injections performed by Dr. Rokhsar.

What makes Dr. Rokhsar’s approach different?

Dr. Rokhsar combines Harvard training, dual board certification, and over 20 years of experience with both surgical and non-surgical lipoma treatments. His precision, safety record, and natural results distinguish him as one of Long Island’s top dermatologic surgeons.
