Dr. Pimple Popper is on her gaaaame (as always). Case in point? Just one month and a day since she first shared the insane "Chip on the Shoulder" lipoma with the world, the derm goes for round dos (two) and posts a video of an almost-as-huge, fleshy lipoma located on, yup, the shoulder that's sure to also rock your world. Meet: "Chipette on the Shoulder."
Oh yes, the derm went there.
In her most recent Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper (a.k.a. Sandra Lee, M.D.) gets right to it: massaging, poking, prodding, and, finally, squeezing a lumpy lipoma bit by bit out from her patient's shoulder. Sounds like a snooze fest? That's because to really experience the extraction, you need to watch the full video on Dr. P's YouTube channel. Sneaky, sneaky, but totally worth it.

The YouTube video opens up with Dr. Pimple Popper making an incision with her go-to array of tools (scalpel, scissors, and a buzzing drill-like device) until she can see the "cute lipoma." Ummm, cute? Not the adjective I was thinking...
At this point, you might want to turn off the volume, especially if bodily sounds make you queasy because, girl, they just escalate from here. Don't worry, though, I'll be sure to keep you posted on the need-to-know audio clips. For example, around this time Dr. P finishes the incision and then goes hands-first into (yes, into!) the opening, pushing her fingers around the lump to hopefully position it for an easy squeeze. But, let's be real, all that you really notice is a delightful ripping sound.
The doc then explains to her patient, who likely did not enjoy that ripping noise, that "[the lipoma's] grabbing on to bits of fibrous tissue around here," which is also making it a bit difficult to remove.
Have no fear, though, because Dr. P is here! As are her gloved fingers, which she plunges into the fleshy opening so that part of the yellow-red lipoma begins to pop out.
Dr. P continues to pull and squeeze the fatty lump out of this rather, well, small-in comparison to the huge "chipette"-hole to a sensational soundtrack of squishes and squeaks. I repeat: squishes and squeaks, which Dr. P explains are just the lipoma's "crying out a little bit [...] just talking to us."
I thought big lipomas don't cry...?
Anyway, thanks to some hard squeezes and a lot of pulling, Dr. P is able to remove part of the lipoma, cutting away to reveal the remainder: a brain-like lump that must be so heavy I can't help but wonder how the patient was able to lift her arm. Talk about a trooper.
"It's almost all gone. Did you feel that release a little bit?" Dr. P asks her patient, who doesn't respond because odds are she's trying really hard not to hear the symphony of squeezes coming out of her body.
After Dr. P cuts out the second part of the lipoma, she goes digging to see if any other pieces are hiding. Spoiler alert: there are indeed little lipoma remainders that the doc easily removes with her gloved fingers (today's star tool) and scissors. The derm then stitches up her patient like this extraction was no biggie, while viewers everywhere (*raises hand*) are still in awe of what just went down.
Hey, I guess in Dr. P's world, this is just another ~manic Monday~.
