To identify the nature of your lump, we recommend that patients come in for a screening at Florida Lakes Surgical. Sometimes, a lipoma or a cyst is easily identifiable based on its location or its texture, but we may perform additional tests to make sure.

It’s a relief to find out that the lump beneath your skin is a noncancerous cyst or lipoma, but it can still be distressing because of its prominent appearance. A cyst is a sac of air or fluid within your soft tissue, while a lipoma is a benign tumor of fat cells between your skin and muscle tissue.
At Florida Lakes Surgical, we can help get rid of that cyst or lipoma, even if it isn’t a cause for medical concern. A simple surgical removal and a skin graft will restore your skin to smoothness!

Our Approach to Cyst & Lipoma Removal
We always recommend our patients come in for an examination if they have an abnormal lump or growth. Once we determine that it is a cyst or lipoma, we can discuss potential treatment avenues with you. Since they are not usually painful, patients normally elect to undergo cyst or lipoma removal in Sebring for cosmetic reasons.
Causes of Lipomas & Cysts
Genetics
Your likelihood of getting a lipoma or a cyst increases if your family members also have them.
Age
While they can occur at any age, they most commonly occur in middle-aged adults and older.
Blockage
A cyst forms when skin cells aren’t shed properly and they accumulate beneath the skin.
Frequently Asked Questions About Lipomas & Cysts
You can distinguish the difference based on touch. Cysts are hard and don’t move when you touch them, and they may be tender. Lipomas are soft and easily move beneath the skin when touched.
Both lipomas and cysts can continue to grow if left untreated. Sometimes, they can cause pain if they press on surrounding tissue or nerves. If a cyst becomes red or inflamed, then it may become infected, which does need treatment. Generally, if the growth is not painful, then it can be left alone. However, many patients find that they dislike the appearance of their growth, which is why many come to Florida Lakes Surgical for cyst or lipoma removal in Sebring.
