Lipoma removal at Clínica Carlos Zommer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, provides surgical excision to remove fatty lumps from under the skin. This procedure is performed by Dr. Carlos Zommer, a board-certified plastic surgeon and member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). The clinic follows strict safety standards, holding official credentials including RQE 30308 and CRM 52.92863-1.
The medical team uses a specific method called excision with capsule removal. This technique involves taking out the entire lipoma along with its surrounding sac. Removing the whole capsule helps prevent the lump from growing back in the same spot. This approach is effective for both lipomas and sebaceous cysts. The surgeon focuses on making clean incisions to help the skin heal properly after the procedure.
Dr. Carlos Zommer leads the surgical team with a background in both general and plastic surgery. He completed his medical graduation at UNESA and finished his specialized training at UFRJ. He also trained at the Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado. His membership in the SBCP confirms that he meets the high standards required for plastic surgeons in Brazil. Every patient receives an individual evaluation to determine the best way to remove the lump based on its size and location.
Recovery is managed according to the needs of each patient. In some cases, Dr. Carlos Zommer may place a surgical drain after the excision. This helps remove excess fluid and supports a smooth healing process. The use of a drain depends entirely on the size of the lipoma and the specific case evaluation. This tailored approach helps manage the area during the first few days after surgery. Most patients can return to their daily routines shortly after the procedure.
