Facial lipomas—soft, fatty lumps beneath the skin—are benign, but their appearance can affect your confidence, especially when they occur on visible areas like the cheeks, forehead, or neck. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA, we specialize in removing facial lipomas with minimal scarring and superior cosmetic outcomes. Our practice is rooted in extensive clinical expertise, compassionate care, and a deep understanding of facial aesthetics. Led by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery has become a trusted name across the Atlanta metro area. Dr. Stong is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with training from some of the nation’s most prestigious institutions, including a fellowship under Dr. Andrew Jacono, one of the most recognized names in facial plastic surgery. With offices conveniently located in Buckhead, we serve patients from Midtown, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, Decatur, and throughout the greater Atlanta region.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
Understanding Facial Lipomas
Lipomas are fatty tissue growths that develop slowly beneath the skin. Though typically harmless, facial lipomas can become a source of embarrassment or discomfort. They are:
- Soft and pliable
- Painless and mobile under the skin
- Resistant to at-home treatments or topical creams
- Often mistaken for cysts or other skin lesions
In a city like Atlanta, where both personal and professional appearance can impact opportunities and confidence, the demand for specialized aesthetic procedures continues to grow. Many patients come to Kalos after trying to get help elsewhere or being told a scar might be inevitable. Our team takes a different approach.
Lipoma Removal at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery
- Expert Diagnosis and Consultation: Every patient begins with an in-depth consultation. Dr. Stong will evaluate your growth to confirm that it is indeed a lipoma and rule out other conditions. His extensive experience in facial anatomy allows him to make accurate assessments that avoid unnecessary treatments or surprises.
- Advanced Surgical Technique: The procedure is typically done in-office under local anesthesia. Dr. Stong uses precise, discreet incisions designed to follow natural skin creases or remain hidden in low-visibility areas. The removal is gentle, and the technique is refined to protect surrounding tissues and skin.
- Postoperative Recovery and Support: Most patients experience minimal swelling and can return to regular activities shortly after the procedure. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and remains available throughout your recovery to answer questions and monitor healing.
- Cosmetic Results with Surgical Integrity: As a specialist in facial aesthetics, Dr. Stong blends form and function. Our patients not only see the lipoma gone—they see their face restored to its natural contours, with little to no visible scarring.
