A soft lump under the skin is often harmless but it can still feel uncomfortable, noticeable, or concerning.
If you’ve noticed a slowly growing swelling, chances are it could be a lipoma, a common, benign fatty growth.
A 30–45 minute day-care procedure performed by Dr. Rajesh Vasu at Apollo Hospitals, Financial District removes lipomas safely and completely, with minimal scarring.
Walk in, walk out with clarity and comfort.

A lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) fatty lump that develops just beneath the skin.
It usually:
Lipomas commonly appear on the neck, shoulders, back, arms, or thighs.
While lipomas are harmless, they don’t go away on their own and may gradually increase in size.
Dr. Vasu examines your earlobe, discusses the type of repair, and confirms re-piercing options.
15–20 MIN
A small injection numbs only the earlobe. You’re awake and comfortable throughout.
Torn or stretched edges are precisely aligned and sutured using fine plastic surgery technique to minimise scarring.
You go home the same day. Most patients drive themselves; a companion is welcome but not required.
Dr. Vasu examines the lump and confirms diagnosis.
The area is numbed for a comfortable procedure.
A small incision is made and the lipoma is carefully removed in full.
Skin is closed with fine sutures. You go home the same day.
” A torn earlobe is small. The scar that replaces it stays visible for years. The difference between one that fades and one that doesn’t is the surgeon.”
Lipoma removal may seem straightforward but how it is performed determines your final result.
An incomplete or poorly planned removal can lead to:
The difference lies in precision and technique.
Because even a small lump deserves careful, expert handling.
Performed in a fully accredited tertiary care hospital — sterile theatre, advanced infection control, hospital-grade safety standards. Not a clinic room.
Performed personally by Dr. Vasu. No technicians, no junior staff, no routing through general practice. Plastic surgery technique applied to every repair, however small.

You may consider lipoma removal if:
While lipomas are harmless, removing them can prevent future growth and discomfort.

I’d been hiding my torn earlobes under my hair for nearly a decade. Thirty minutes with Dr. Vasu and they were gone. The scar is honestly invisible. I wish I’d done it years ago.

Calm, surgical, completely judgment-free. I had stretched lobes from old gauges and Dr. Vasu treated it as a serious repair, not a cosmetic afterthought. Healed beautifully.

I went to two dermatologists before I came here. The difference in technique is immediately obvious. This is a plastic surgeon doing a plastic surgeon’s job.

No. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you remain comfortable. Mild soreness after is temporary.
When removed completely, recurrence at the same site is uncommon.
A small scar is expected, but it is placed and closed carefully to remain as minimal and discreet as possible.
Yes. Most lipomas are removed in a single session.
In most cases, clinical examination is sufficient. Additional tests are advised only if needed.
Yes, depending on number and location.
Most patients resume routine activities the same or next day.
A consultation helps confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions.
A lipoma may be harmless but removing it can bring comfort, confidence, and peace of mind.
