'Squeeze delivery' excision of subcutaneous lipoma related to anatomic site.
A small cosmetic incision followed by 'squeeze delivery' was attempted for 190 lipomas in 116 patients. This technique was successful without resort to widening of the incision or using scissor dissection in 87 lipomas (46 per cent). Success was not related to size but to the site of the lipoma. The success rate was 100 per cent for excision of lipomas in the forearm and leg.
