  • In Dr. Pimple Popper's new Youtube video, she popped a lipoma in the middle of her patient's forehead.

  • The dermatologist showed every step of the removal process.

  • Dr. Pimple Popper has to cut away little bits of the lipoma until it's all out of her patient's forehead.


Dermatologist Sandra Lee, MD, a.k.a. Dr. Pimple Popper, certainly has a way with words. She is so prolific in her clever pimple descriptions, if you listen carefully and read her captions. The doc might be as good at describing her patient's pimples as she is at popping them. Her new Youtube video is a superb example of both.

In it, Dr. Pimple Popper helps a patient with a lipoma sticking out of her forehead. Yes, a round, protruding bump in a very obvious spot. The doc gets right to work and slices into her patient's forehead to reach the lipoma below.

FYI: Dr. Pimple Popper explains, "Lipomas are slow-growing, benign (non-cancerous) growths of fat cells. These cells are contained in a thin capsule that creates the appearance of a “bump” right under the skin. Lipomas are typically not tender, move around easily, and don’t require treatment. However, some lipomas may sit in places that cause discomfort to the patient, which is why some people may request removal."

If you don't have time for an extended video, you can tune into her Instagram clips to catch up.

Right after she slices into her forehead, the incision starts bleeding and doesn't stop. I'm freaking out, but Dr. Pimple Popper is cool as a cucumber and cauterizes the area. It works, and her next step is squeezing. But squeezing doesn't quite work, so Dr. Pimple Popper starts chopping away at the lipoma under the skin. She grabs each piece with her tweezers.

If that's not enough entertainment for you, take a peek at the comments. One fan wrote, "I’m sure Halle is overwhelmed that you named a lipoma after her!! 😂" Another shared an interesting suggestion: "Don't sew it up and put a glass eye in it! Now that would be the bomb!" As for the Halle Berry comment, it's all a huge compliment directed right at her patient, who's 52 and has seriously glowing skin.
