Some of Dr. Pimple Popper's most eye-catching treatments are those with surprises, and a recent lipoma extraction shared by the celebrity dermatologist on YouTube was no different.
In the December 16 video, Dr. Pimple Popper, whose real name is Dr. Sandra Lee, treated a social media manager with a lipoma that'd been growing over the past five years. It was unclear where the lipoma was on his body, since the entire video was zoomed in on the growth itself.
That's what Lee did, first by cutting a three-inch incision through the lump. Then she used scissors to widen the opening and a cauterizing pen to stop bleeding, making it easier for her to see where to pull the growth out.

At first, she could only remove a small chunk of fat. But then she squeezed around the growth and a wet, yellow, and chunky mass popped to the surface. She snipped that portion away and continued cutting and squeezing until the majority of the lipoma was removed and only a cavity remained in the patient's skin.
"It's like a little pocket that's hidden and you don't know where the opening is, and you got to fiddle around a little bit" Lee said in the video. She also said removing these tiny lipoma bits is important, because if she doesn't they could grow back.
Once Lee removed all of the lipoma, she used surgical stitches to close the cavity left in the patient's skin.
