Introducing the Lipoma Treatment at Nine Eleven Clinic
At Nine Eleven Clinic, Dr. Brijesh Yadav and our expert team specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of lipomas, ensuring you receive the best care possible.
A lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor made up of fat tissue that typically appears as a soft, rubbery lump under the skin. Lipomas can occur anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms, and thighs. They grow slowly and are usually painless, but they can sometimes cause discomfort or be aesthetically displeasing.
- Surgical Removal: The most common treatment for a lipoma is surgical removal. This involves making a small cut and taking out the lipoma. It’s usually done under local anesthesia, meaning you’ll be awake but won’t feel pain in the area. This method is effective and often results in the complete removal of the lipoma.
- Liposuction: Another option is liposuction, where a needle and syringe are used to remove the fatty tissue. This method is less invasive than surgery and might leave less scarring. However, it may not completely remove the lipoma, and there’s a chance it could return.
- Steroid Injections: In some cases, doctors might use steroid injections to shrink the lipoma. This treatment is less common and may not be as effective as surgery or liposuction. It’s usually considered if surgery is not an option.
- Watchful Waiting: If the lipoma isn’t causing any discomfort or problems, you might choose to leave it alone. Many people live with lipomas without any issues. Regular check-ups with your doctor can ensure that the lipoma isn’t growing or causing any complications.
- Consultation with a Specialist: For large or problematic lipomas, it’s a good idea to see a specialist. They can provide expert advice and recommend the best treatment options based on your specific situation.
- Considerations and Risks: All treatments come with some risks and considerations. For surgery, there might be scarring or infection risks. Liposuction may not always remove the lipoma completely. Always discuss these potential risks with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision.
Lipomas are non-cancerous lumps of fatty tissue that develop beneath the skin. If you have a lipoma and are considering treatment, here’s what you need to know:
- Soft, Movable Lump: A lipoma feels soft and rubbery and can be easily moved under the skin with gentle pressure.
- Slow Growth: Lipomas grow slowly over months or even years.
- Painless:/b> Most lipomas do not cause pain, though they can become painful if they press on nerves or have many blood vessels.
Diagnosing a lipoma typically involves a physical examination. In some cases, imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis and ensure the lump is not a more serious condition
