What is a Lipoma?

Effortless Lipoma Care

What does it do?

A lipoma is a non-cancerous, benign tumours 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 tissue from small traumas to the skin. They can be found in places 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 just for cosmetic reasons. Our goal is to address all of the above and minimise scarring, provide comfort and ease with both therapies for liposuction on larger lipomas or direct surgical excision approach in smaller ones.

Several benefits include:

Improved comfort
Enhanced appearance
Minimize recurrence
Quick Recovery

The many types

Conventional Lipoma

Conventional lipomas is the most common type, consisting of normal fat cells that are typically 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 sometimes.

Spindle Cell Lipoma

A spindle-shaped cell found on the neck or back.

Pleomorphic Lipoma

Often found in older adults. They are large fat cells of several different sizes.

Hibernoma

A rare kind composed of brown fat that is most often present around the upper back or thighs.

Consultation

It is preferable to begin with a consultation in which expectations regarding the procedure, necessary preparations, and actions to be taken prior to, during, and following the surgery are established.

Preparation

We are now focused on all the preparations that must be taken. Making sure everything will go along to plan financially, emotionally, and physically before the procedure begins.

Surgery

Surgical excision is a common way to get rid of a lipoma, wherein the fatty lump will be removed through a small incision. Usually done under local anaesthesia for minimal pain or discomfort.

Recovery

Although recovery times may differ from person to person, most patients are back to their regular activities in two weeks or less.

The procedure

Lipoma Removal Process

How does lipoma removal surgery work?

Most lipomas are simply removed by making a small incision in the skin and extracting out the mass. The surgeon applies local anesthesia to numb the area, and then attaches it with sutures enclosed by a bandage. Lipomas do not tend to recur after they are surgically excised.

Advanced Removal Options

What methods are available?

Lipomas are removed through a minor surgical procedure via a relatively simple surgical procedure where the growth is excised whole. If there are multiple or very large lipomas to be removed it may make more sense for the specialist to propose surgery combined with liposuction in order so that fat is taken out and scarring is minimized. For larger and multiple lipomas, laser lipolysis is also available which consists of destroying overgrowth of fat cells using a nanometer wavelength before surgical removal.

Duration Of The Treatment

How long does the procedure take?

Large or complex lipomas still need to be excised under general anesthesia, whereas small ones can usually be removed under local anesthesia. The surgery only takes about 30 to 60 minutes, though time will certainly be added due the administration of general anaesthesia.

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 anesthetic with a short recovery.

Comfort-Focused Removal

How painful is lipoma removal surgery?

Your comfort is maintained by an injection of a local anesthesia into the area where lipoma will be removed. For comfort afterward, cold compresses often help. Avoid any form of heavy exertion to safely recover.

Do not shave on the area to be treated.
Do not take any medications that lower blood pressure the day of your procedure.
Cease all blood thinners except Aspirin. You can take Aspirin if you need it.
Stop taking blood thinning medications five days prior to your surgery and then you may start taking them the day after.

What is the recommended post-treatment care?

You can put ice on and off to the area over dressing as ice will help with swelling.
Take Ibuprofen (200–400 mg) every 6 hours for pain.<
You can shower the next day or when you are comfortable.

Am I suitable

Is Lipoma removal good for me?

People who are in pain, have general discomfort or are aesthetically conscious may choose lipoma removal. Even large lipomas or rapidly growing ones may require removal, especially if it gets in the way while performing certain activities of daily living. Consult with our board-certified doctor for evaluation before the surgery.

The risks

Can risks be prevented?

Here are the risks of removing lipomas:

Infection: There is a small risk of infection in the area where the incision was made that may need treatment.
Scarring: Possible scaring whatever method used.
Bleeding: The process may lead to hemorrhage during or after the procedure which will require additional medical attention.
Damage to Nerves: Damage can occur in nearby nerves which may result temporary or, rarely, permanent numbness and tingling.<
Recurrence: While it is rare, a lipoma can sometimes grow back following removal.
