With the help of advanced liposuction surgery technology like VASER & POWEREX multiple lipomas can be removed through very tiny incisions. Incisions Number Are Less as Many Lipoma Can Be Talked Through One Incision

- Practically scar-less healing
- Speedy recovery

One can have a lot of information on the internet. Consultation is an opportunity to know what is there for you. It is an opportunity to interact and know about the surgeon and to match your comfort level.
During your consultation be prepared to discuss:
- A brief detailing of Lipoma
- How long it takes to grow in size and increase in number?
- Information about your weight gain as well as weight loss history
- Family History
- Medical conditions, drug allergies, and medical treatments
- Current medications, vitamins, fat burner, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use
- Previous surgeries, particularly lipoma removal surgery and recurrence.
Your surgeon will also:
- Evaluate number, size, and mobility of lipoma rule out other seeming conditions.
- Evaluate your general health status, particularly your nutritional status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors.
- May take photographs
- The cosmetic surgeon will suggest about the plan of your surgery
- Discuss attainable outcomes and any potential risks or complications.
- It is good to make a list of important questions before proceeding for the consultative step.
Diagnosis
Most lipomas can be diagnosed only with a physical examination. However, if there is a history of rapid growth or increasing pain or other changes are noted, then preoperative studies should be performed to help and confirming the diagnosis.
When there is some doubt a Radiology evaluation can be suggested that includes ultrasound, or a computed tomography (CT) scan, but it is rarely advised.
Excision of Lipoma
It is a traditional technique; incision has the same size as that of lipoma. A lipoma is removed with the capsule, which took too long to perform as well as a longer recovery. It is now very rarely used.
Liposuction of Lipoma
Now it is commonly done with a tiny incision, which is fewer than lipoma where up to 100 Lipoma can be removed in one session and one gets a faster recovery.
A combination technique is used when lipoma is larger in size. For example, large lipoma of 25 cm can be removed through a 2-3 cm incision.
- Assessing the Multiple Lipomas:
On the day of the surgery, the discussion will be done again as your physical fitness is also evaluated and preoperative formalities are done.
- Marking:
The Cosmetic surgeon will mark the Lipoma to use as guidelines in the procedure.
- Anesthesia:
A small number of lipomas can be removed under local anesthesia when a large number of lipomas can be removed with the application of local anaesthesia along with sedation.
- Infiltration:
The surgeon will inject a highly diluted anesthesia fluid into the marked area all around the lipomas, resulting in reduced blood loss and painless extraction.
- Incision:
Tiny incision of about 0.5-0.8 cm is made over lipoma and nearby lipoma can be treated from the same incision rather than a separate incision.
- Fat Aspiration:
A small cannula is a slide under the skin to remove the fat cells. Liposuction is done through various technologies such as Vaser or Powerex. The aim is to remove lipoma completely.
- Skin Closure:
The skin is closed with a single buried absorbable suture, which heals practically scarless.
After Surgery:
The dressing is done on the sutured area and a pressure dressing is applied. One needs to restrict the movements until the stitches have completely healed. It is instructed to apply scar cream after lipoma removal surgery to reduce the appearance of the scar if any.
The results will be visible immediately after the lipoma removal although you might experience some sort of swelling post-procedure, which will resolve over time.
