In the fifth episode of season one of Dr. Pimple Popper titled "A Lipoma Jackpot," viewers are introduced to several patients suffering from lipomas, a type of benign tumor made up of fat tissue. Dr. Sandra Lee, a dermatologist known for her pop-worthy videos on social media, meets with patients seeking her expertise in removing these growths.

The episode starts with Karen, a mother of six children, who has been living with a large lipoma on her shoulder for over six years. The lump has caused her pain and discomfort, as well as psychological distress due to its appearance. Dr. Lee examines Karen's lump and decides to remove it during a same-day procedure. The surgery goes smoothly, and Karen is overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing the results.

Next, viewers meet Melissa, a young woman with multiple lipomas all over her body, including her stomach and arms. These lipomas have caused Melissa to feel self-conscious and limit her daily activities due to physical discomfort. Dr. Lee performs multiple removal procedures on Melissa, and viewers get to see the transformation of her body before and after the surgeries.

Another featured patient is Chuck, a man who has a large lump on the back of his head that he has been living with for several years. The lump causes Chuck to experience headaches and hinders his ability to perform his job as a truck driver. Dr. Lee determines that the lump is a lipoma and decides to remove it during a same-day procedure. The surgery is successful, and Chuck is shown feeling relieved and happy with the results.

Another patient featured in the episode is Kristina, a woman who has been living with a large belly lipoma for over a decade. This lump has caused her to feel self-conscious and uncomfortable, as well as suffer from back pain and physical restrictions. Dr. Lee determines that the size and location of the lipoma make it a more complicated removal process. Despite the risks, Kristina decides to go through with the surgery and viewers get a glimpse into the intricacies of the procedure.
