What does it do?
A lipoma is a non-cancerous, benign tumor that forms under the skin. Most are generally harmless, but they can cause pain if compressed or interfere with movement. While doctors do not know the exact cause of lipoma formation, they believe that it may have a genetic factor and can grow as a result of small traumas to the skin. Lipomas can be found in areas like the back, neck, arms, or legs.
Our talented surgeons at the Harley Street Skin Clinic can remove them for you, whether it is because they are uncomfortable or simply for cosmetic reasons. Our goal is to address all of the above and minimize scarring while providing comfort and ease with both therapies: liposuction for larger lipomas or a direct surgical excision approach for smaller ones.
Several benefits include:
Conventional Lipoma
Conventional lipomas are the most common type, consisting of normal fat cells that are typically located beneath the skin.
Fibrolipoma
This type is firmer because it has a mixture of fat and fibrous tissue.
Angiolipoma
This type contains fat and blood vessels, so it may feel uncomfortable at times.
Spindle Cell Lipoma
A spindle-shaped cell lipoma is often found on the neck or back.
Pleomorphic Lipoma
Often found in older adults, pleomorphic lipomas consist of large fat cells of several different sizes.
Hibernoma
A rare type of lipoma composed of brown fat, most often present around the upper back or thighs.
Lipoma removal process.
How does lipoma removal surgery work?
Most lipomas are removed by making a small incision in the skin and extracting the mass. The surgeon applies local anesthesia to numb the area and then sutures the incision, which is covered by a bandage. Lipomas do not tend to recur after they are surgically excised.
Different methods used for lipoma removal
What methods are available?
Lipomas are removed through a minor surgical procedure where the growth is excised whole. If there are multiple or very large lipomas to be removed, it may be more efficient for the specialist to propose a combination of surgery and liposuction to minimize scarring. For larger and multiple lipomas, laser lipolysis is also available, which involves destroying overgrown fat cells using a nanometer wavelength before surgical removal.
Duration of the treatment.
How long does the procedure take?
Large or complex lipomas may need to be excised under general anesthesia, while smaller ones can usually be removed under local anesthesia. The surgery typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, although additional time will be required for the administration of general anesthesia.
Size for lipoma surgery.
At what size should I get a lipoma removed?
Lipomas can be easily removed as an outpatient procedure. Small lipomas (less than 10 cm) can generally be removed under local anesthesia with a short recovery period.
Managing pain and discomfort.
How painful is lipoma removal surgery?
Your comfort is maintained by an injection of local anesthesia into the area where the lipoma will be removed. After the procedure, cold compresses often help alleviate discomfort. It is advisable to avoid any form of heavy exertion to ensure a safe recovery.
