With Double Board-Certified Surgeon, Dr. Brad Gandolfi
Your journey will begin with a phone call from a member of our team, providing a chance to discuss your medical history and aesthetic goals. You will also be invited to schedule your consultation. Upon your arrival at our clinic, Dr. Gandolfi will conduct a physical evaluation and discuss the procedure further with you. You will also have a chance to ask questions and learn more about options for sedation and pain management. The consultation usually lasts around half an hour.
Your Initial Consultation
Dr. Gandolfi may recommend the surgical removal of your lipoma. These procedures are done both in the office under local anesthesia (numbing shots) or in the operating room, depending on the extent of the procedure and patient preference. Dr. Gandolfi will seek incision placements that minimize scarring, carefully removing the lipoma tissue.
You may also have the option of having a lipoma removed through liposuction. With this minimally invasive method, Dr. Gandolfi will provide a local anesthetic and then insert a long, thin needle into the lipoma, extracting fatty tissue from the growth. For larger lesions or facial areas where precision is crucial, Dr. Gandolfi may employ magnification and layered closure techniques to maintain contour and symmetry.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Gandolfi and the entire team. From the very first consultation through my abdominoplasty and recovery, I felt genuinely cared for, listened to, and safe. This was not a rushed or transactional experience in any way. Every question I had was answered with patience and clarity, and I never once felt dismissed or pressured. The level of attentiveness before and after surgery made such a difference in my nervous system and overall healing. Dr. Gandolfi has an incredible balance of clinical precision and humanity. I always felt like a whole person, not just a procedure. The staff checked in often, explained what to expect at every stage, and made sure I felt supported physically and emotionally. That kind of care is rare.
