What is Lipoma Treatment?

Lipoma treatment focuses on removing a lipoma — a soft, non-cancerous fatty lump that grows under the skin and is usually painless but may enlarge or cause discomfort. Doctors recommend lipoma removal when the lump increases in size, causes pain, restricts movement, or for cosmetic reasons.

The most effective treatment is lipoma surgery, a minor surgical procedure where the lump is safely removed under local or short anaesthesia. The procedure is typically quick, done as a daycare surgery, and helps prevent recurrence at the same site. Patients are evaluated by a lipoma surgeon to confirm diagnosis and plan treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lipoma removal is recommended for patients who have a noticeable lump under the skin that is growing, causing discomfort, or affecting appearance. Your doctor will evaluate the size, location, and symptoms to determine if removal is necessary.

Lipoma removal is generally considered a minor surgical procedure. It is usually performed under local or general anaesthesia and typically does not require a long hospital stay.

The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the lipoma.

The procedure itself is done under anaesthesia, so there is no pain during surgery. Some mild discomfort may be experienced after the procedure, which can be managed with prescribed medications.

Most patients recover within a few days to a week. Patients can usually return to normal activities shortly after the procedure, based on the doctor’s advice.

In many cases, lipoma removal is done as a day-care procedure. Some patients may require a short hospital stay depending on the size of the lipoma and their overall health.
