Lipoma is called the universal tumour since it occurred anywhere and in some sites conventional surgery result in undesirable scar. Therefore the aesthetic outcome is demanded; from here raises the alternative of liposuction especially in exposed area. Prospective controlled study was carried out aim to assess the degree of excision, cosmetic result and patient's satisfaction. Patient included were subjected to preoperative FNAC for confirmation of the pathology, Clinical and sometimes ultrasonic study to exclude septated ones. Histological study was done to confirm preoperative cytology. All of the group were quiet satisfied with the results and the aesthetic outcome together with elimination of the pathology.
