I have a big ugly lipoma on my neck it really sticks out i never have my hair up unless im wearing a hoodie,i have already had one removed from my neck but i feel they left some behind i know it sounds crazy but its true! Its like its the bottom half anyway its horrible living with it especially in the summer! Is there something i can do to get rid of it once and for all? Is there anything you can do for me? Im38 and from New Zealand and im very desperate please help me!!

Hi,
Sometimes it is difficult at surgery to ensure all the fatty tissue is removed. The only option would be to have further surgery to remove the remainder of the lipoma.
