Multiple Lipoma Removal: A Comprehensive Guide with Dr. Sivakumar

At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, we understand that dealing with multiple lipomas can be both physically and emotionally challenging. These benign tumors, formed by fatty tissue, can occur in various parts of the body and often lead to discomfort or self-consciousness. In this post, we will explore the details of multiple lipoma removal, the expertise of Dr. S. Sivakumar, and what you can expect from the procedure.

What is Multiple Lipoma Removal?

Multiple lipomas are non-cancerous growths composed of adipose tissue. They can vary in size and may appear as soft, movable lumps under the skin. While lipomas are generally harmless, their presence can sometimes cause discomfort or aesthetic concerns, prompting individuals to seek removal.

Overview

The removal of multiple lipomas typically involves a straightforward surgical procedure. Our goal at Covai Cosmetic Surgery is to ensure our patients feel informed and comfortable throughout the process.

Causes

The exact cause of lipomas remains unclear, but they are believed to be influenced by genetic factors. Some potential causes include:

  • Genetics: Family history of lipomas may increase the likelihood of developing them.
  • Age: They are more common in adults, especially those aged 40-60.
  • Obesity: While not directly linked, higher body fat may contribute to their formation.

Solutions

Fortunately, there are effective solutions for those looking to remove multiple lipomas. Surgical excision is the most common and effective method, allowing for complete removal of the lipomas.

Types of Multiple Lipoma Removal

  • Surgical Excision: The most common method, where the lipoma is cut out from the surrounding tissue.
  • Liposuction: For smaller lipomas, liposuction can be a less invasive option, where fatty tissue is suctioned out.
  • Injection Therapy: In some cases, steroid injections may be used to shrink the lipoma, though complete removal is less likely.

Types of Treatments

At Covai Cosmetic Surgery, we offer:

  • Local Anesthesia: For minor procedures, ensuring patient comfort during surgery.
  • General Anesthesia: For extensive removals, allowing for a pain-free experience.

Types of Stages

The process typically involves:

  • Consultation: Initial assessment and discussion of concerns.
  • Surgery: Removal of lipomas under sterile conditions.
  • Recovery: Post-operative care and follow-up to monitor healing.

Surgery Procedures and Recovery Time

Most lipoma removal procedures are outpatient, with recovery times varying based on the number and size of lipomas removed. Generally, patients can expect:

  • Procedure Duration: 30 minutes to a few hours.
  • Recovery Time: 1-2 weeks for initial healing, with full recovery potentially taking up to a month.
