What is Lipoma

A lipoma is a slow-growing, fatty lump or tumour made of fat tissue that develops just beneath the skin. It’s usually soft to the touch, movable and painless but can be unsightly. Lipomas are usually small but can grow larger over time. However, if a lipoma is causing discomfort or glowing rapidly, it may require medical attention. Therefore, lipoma removal surgery is recommended in such cases. It can also be performed due to cosmetic concerns. At Manipal Hospitals, we provide the best hospital Lipoma surgery with expert care. .

FAQ's

There are potential risks, such as, infection, bleeding and scarring as with any surgical procedure. However, these risks are minimal when performed by experienced surgeons in a sterile environment.

Recovery time varies depending on the size and location of lipoma. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. However, it may take a couple of weeks for the incision to fully heal.

Yes, there will be a scar, but it is usually small and fades over time. The surgeon makes every effort to minimise scarring.

The surgery is generally performed under local or general anaesthesia. So, patients do not feel pain during the procedure. Post-surgery, there may be mild discomfort, which is manageable with pain relief.

You may need surgery if the Lipoma is painful, growing, or causing cosmetic concerns. A consultation with a specialist at Manipal Hospitals can help determine the best course of action.
