What is a Lipoma?
A lipoma is a slow-growing, fatty lump that is usually soft, movable, and painless. They commonly appear on the upper back, shoulders, arms, thighs, and other parts of the body. Though lipomas are benign, removal may be recommended if the lipoma grows, causes discomfort, or affects appearance.
How is Lipoma Removal Performed?
Lipoma removal typically involves surgical excision under local anesthesia. A small incision is made over the lipoma, and the fatty lump is carefully separated and fully removed from surrounding tissues. For larger lipomas, the incision may be carefully planned along natural skin lines to minimize visible scarring. In some cases, liposuction or a squeeze technique may be used for smaller lipomas to reduce incision size.
After removal, the incision is closed using sutures, and a pressure dressing is applied to prevent swelling or hematoma formation. The tissue removed is usually sent for histological analysis to confirm diagnosis.
