Lipoma removal I have a large size lipoma on my back (shoulder blade). I've had a horrible time with scheduling surgery at Vanderbilt dermatology. I know it needs to come out, it's causing discomfort. I know it needs surgery because of its size. Can anyone recommend a specialist in the area? Would really help!

Don't go to a dermatologist, go to a plastic surgeon. I had a lipoma on my head and the dermatologist I went to had no clue what she was doing in trying to remove it. I then saw a plastic surgeon here in Nashville and he removed it and it's hardly noticeable now. It makes sense since plastic surgeons are more likely to remove and smooth over areas of skin rather than a dermatologist. I went to Dr. Don Griffin. The guy knew what he was doing and knew how to approach it after one consultation. http://www.nashvillecosmeticsurgery.com/
