While lipomas are generally harmless and don’t require treatment, it’s important to see a doctor to get any lumps checked out, especially if they:

  • Are new or growing rapidly
  • Are large or become painful
  • Change in appearance

It’s important to note that while lipomas are benign, there is a rare type of cancerous fatty tumor called a liposarcoma. Liposarcomas are typically larger than lipomas, grow more quickly, and may be painful.

Lipoma Removal London

Lipoma removal is a minor Treatments procedure to remove a lipoma, which is a harmless lump composed of fat cells. It is typically performed when the lipoma is:

  • Large or becomes painful: This can happen if the lipoma presses on a nerve or restricts movement in a joint.
  • In a location where it is bothersome, such as on the face or neck.
  • A concern cosmetically.

There are two main types of lipoma removal procedures:

  • Excision: This is the most common type of lipoma removal. During the procedure, the doctor will make a small incision in the skin over the lipoma and then carefully remove it. The incision will then be closed with stitches or Treatments tape.
  • Liposuction: This procedure is typically only used for small lipomas. A thin tube is inserted through a small incision in the skin, and then fat cells are suctioned out of the lipoma.

Lipoma removal is typically done under local anesthesia, which means that only the area around the lipoma will be numb. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used, which means that you will be asleep during the procedure.

Recovery from lipoma removal is usually quick and relatively painless. You may have some bruising and swelling around the incision site for a few days after the procedure. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for the incision site, such as keeping it clean and dry.
