Lipoma Excision

Overview: Lipoma excision is a surgical procedure to remove a lipoma, which is a non-cancerous fatty growth that forms under the skin. At Visage Polyclinic LLC, our specialized medical team performs lipoma excision using precise and safe techniques to ensure the best results for our patients.

What is a Lipoma? A lipoma is an abnormal growth of fatty tissue beneath the skin and is one of the most common benign tumors. Generally, lipomas are not harmful, but if they cause pain, press on nerves, or affect aesthetic appearance, removal may be recommended.

Reasons for Lipoma Excision:

• Aesthetic Concerns: If the lipoma causes cosmetic issues, especially in visible areas like the face or hands.
• Pain: Lipomas can sometimes be painful, requiring removal.
• Impact on Movement: In some cases, the lipoma may press on nerves or surrounding tissues, affecting movement or other functions.

What to Expect During Lipoma Excision:

1. Assessment: The doctor will evaluate the size and location of the lipoma to ensure it is benign and does not cause other health problems.
2. Local Anesthesia: Local anesthesia will be applied to the affected area to ensure the patient’s comfort during the procedure.
3. Excision Procedure: A small incision will be made to remove the lipoma, and the wound will be closed with sterile sutures.
4. Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, specific instructions will be provided on how to care for the area to avoid infection and promote quick healing.

Benefits of Lipoma Excision:

• Improved Aesthetic Appearance: Removing a lipoma from visible areas helps restore a natural appearance.
• Pain Relief: If the lipoma is causing pain due to pressure on tissues or nerves, excision can relieve the discomfort.
• Improved Mobility: If the lipoma is affecting movement, removal helps restore normal functionality.

Post-Treatment Care:

• Keep the wound clean and dry.
• Follow the doctor’s instructions for wound care and follow-up appointments.
• You may need to return for suture removal if the sutures are non-absorbable.
