The doctor explained he first suggested that Han Ye Seul see a plastic surgeon for the removal of the lipoma below her armpit.

“While it is common for a surgeon to operate on lipoma removal surgeries, I told her she can go see a plastic surgeon. She left after I advised her, then came back to receive the surgery from me.” — Dr. Lee

He chose to cut open a lower region than where the lipoma is located, where a lingerie could cover up a visible scar on the actress’s body.

“I told her I will try to minimize making a visible scar by approaching the lipoma from a distance, through a region where she could later hide with her brassier strap.” — Dr. Lee

The doctor admitted in the interview that in the process of approaching the lipoma from a lower cut line, he penetrated the skin covering the lipoma and created a round wound.

“A flap of skin was extracted with the lipoma, creating a round wound as shown in the picture. I removed the skin flap from the lipoma and tried to put it back where it belongs. This is the skin inside the round stitches.” — Dr. Lee

To help with the understanding of how the procedure took place, another source used a mannequin to reenact the operation. Usually, a lipoma is removed by creating a cut directly above its location and extracting it through the opening.
