Thank you for joining me! Today we're going to talk about all the little lumps, and bumps, and moles that bring people into my office.

In this episode I'll explain the different types of lumps, bumps, and moles that we all seem to pick up as we age, including how they form, how they are best removed, and what differentiates an aesthetic concern from a true health and wellbeing concern.

We cover a lot of interesting ground in this episode, and answer many of the questions people have:

What is the difference between a lipoma and a sebaceous cyst?

Is surgery the only option to remove a lipoma, or should a treatment like Kybella be considered?

Are lipomas benign?

How can sebaceous cysts be removed?

Which sebaceous cysts can be removed in-office, and which should be removed in the operating room?

What are dermoids?

Are glandular tumors benign? What about dermatofibromas?

Can moles be removed without scarring?

Are skin checks to screen for skin cancer really necessary, and how often should a skin check be done?

As a plastic surgeon with over 32 years of experience, I've addressed the questions and concerns of thousands of patients, and I can tell you that everyone has questions when it comes to plastic surgery, and breast implants are no exception. That's why I made this episode!
