Lipoma Removal Surgery

Benign fat tumor elimination of surgery often only requires local anesthesia and can be performed in approximately 30 minutes, but this depends on the size and number of the lipomas and the method of elimination.

Lipomas can be excised using two different methods:

The Liposuction Method (minimally invasive)
Liposuction allows the elimination surgery of lipoma through a very small incision. The incision required for liposuction may also be placed in a more remote inconspicuous location. Liposuction is often used on small facial adipose tumors because a favorable cosmetic result can be obtained through remote incisions.

Liposuction can be used for medium-sized (4-10cm) and large (>10cm) lipomas as well.
The disadvantage of liposuction is that residual fat cells may be left. This increases the chances that the benign or adipose tumors may regrow. Another disadvantage is that liposuction does not allow for a complete evaluation of the entire tumor.

For very large benign fat tumors, the liposuction method allows for a smaller incision. Dr. Milan Doshi will use this incision to vacuum the growth from the beneath the skin. Although this technique is less invasive, it is more difficult to guarantee the complete withdrawal of the fatty tissue.

The Excision method (Surgical treatment): Superficial benign fat tumors are commonly removed for cosmetic reasons, and hence, a cosmetically pleasing incision should be used. The incision is usually placed directly over the mass and oriented so that it is hidden by natural creases or wrinkles in the skin. This improves the cosmetic results.

This method is used more frequently. The skin is incised over the lipoma, and the fatty tissue is meticulously dissected away. The dissection technique may, in selected cases, be combined with a “press and squeeze” method. It’s analogous to delivering a baby through a small access area. After the lipoma has been completely removed from under the skin, the incision will be meticulously sutured closed with dissolving sutures.Complete surgical excision of the fat cells and fibrous capsule is highly recommended to prevent the mass from re-growing. The size and location of all benign fat tumors differ on an individual basis; your cosmetic surgeon will discuss which technique is most appropriate for you.

Anaesthesia

The decision regarding the type of anesthesia is dependent on the size and location of the benign fatty tumors, in addition to mutual agreement between surgeon and patient.

REST & RECOVERY

Normally, the individual can go home once the procedure is completed.

The benign fat tumor removal procedure is usually completed in a few minutes’ time.

The recovery period after a benign fat tumor elimination procedure depends on the size and location of the benign tumor. Typically, patients can return to work and resume light activity after a week.

Patients may return home immediately following the adipose/benign tumor elimination surgery but should expect to return for a post-operative visit to ensure your treatment site is healing properly. No matter the technique used to excise the benign fatty tumors, a sample is typically sent out to a laboratory for testing, ensuring the fatty tissue is not cancerous. Although benign lipomas are not cancerous, strict precautions are always made to ensure the safety and health of each patient.

In many cases, an estimation of the surgery cost may be provided before the procedure.

Some of the genetic conditions are listed below that may cause lipoma:

• Gardner syndrome, a condition that causes benign tumor to form.
• Adiposis dolorosa a condition marked by the growth of lipomas.
• Familial multiple lipomatosis, a hereditary condition that causes multiple growths of lipomas.
• Madelung disease, a rare condition marked by lipomas forming around the upper body.
• Cowden syndrome, characterized by a benign tumor.
