Dr. Sandra Lee – She is known as Dr. Pimplepopper to her fans – removed a large, jiggly lipoma from a woman’s back in the latest video on her YouTube channel.
Lipomas, which are fatty tumors, usually develop on the skin or muscle between the skin and muscles. They are not normally cancerous. According to the Mayo Clinic.
The lipoma, which was melon-sized, was found in the left shoulder blade of the patient. It jutted out and created a hump-like appearance. Lee called the lipoma “Oklahoma-sized”Because of the sheer volume of the mass.
Lee performed a lipoma incision and began removing the soft yellow mass from the skin. As with many lipomasThe patient’s mass was soft, pliable, and the procedure to remove it was slow and tedious.
“I just put my hand through it, and it tears, which makes it harder to squeeze out,”Lee said this as she gently removed the lipoma one at a time.
Lee used surgical scissors to cut some of the mass, but not too much to reduce bleeding. She explained that pulling out the mass rather than cutting out it helps to avoid any side effects or complications.
Lee carefully removed the majority of the tumor. This was to ensure that the lipoma didn’t grow back. Lee then stitched the patient up and sent her home.
