Frequently Asked Questions About Lipoma Removal
Does a lipoma always have to be removed?
Yes, unless your doctor or specialist recommends otherwise, if you notice a lump of fat, it is best to remove it.
How is the postoperative?
Postoperative is easy. You will only need to take pain medication for a few days and then come in for an appointment to have the stitches removed.
What can indicate the presence of a lipoma?
A lipoma is a small lump that forms under the skin, on top of the muscle. It is made up of fat cells that can be moved by touch. They usually appear on the neck, shoulders, head, or legs. There is no single reason for them, although some people have a genetic predisposition. They are also linked to obesity, alcohol abuse, and liver disease.
What is the risk of lipomas?
In general, there are no risks since they are benign formations, which should be removed anyway. In very few cases, it can be a cancerous liposarcoma, in which case it is dangerous. They are usually more painful and grow rapidly.
What kind of anesthesia is used?
Generally, local anesthesia is sufficient to carry out the operation. In very specific cases, regional or total anesthesia may be necessary.
What happens if I have many lipomas?
Some people have a genetic predisposition to the formation of lipomas. This is not a problem, since lipoma removal is possible. Multiple small incisions must be made in order to remove each of the lipomas on the patient’s skin.
