Lipoma & Multiple Lipoma Removal in Ahmedabad

A lipoma is a soft, fatty lump that grows beneath the skin — usually harmless but often unsightly or uncomfortable.

While some people have just one, others may develop multiple lipomas across the body — on the arms, back, shoulders, thighs, or neck.

At ADORN Aesthetic Clinic, Ahmedabad, under the expert care of Dr. Harsh Bharat Amin (M.Ch. Plastic Surgery), lipoma removal is performed with advanced minimal-scar techniques, ensuring both medical safety and aesthetic precision.

🔍 What is a Lipoma?
 

A lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor made of fat cells. It feels soft, moves easily under the skin, and grows slowly over time.

Although lipomas are painless in most cases, some may cause discomfort, restrict movement, or affect appearance — especially if they become large or occur in visible areas.

🧬 Causes & Risk Factors for lipoma

While the exact cause is not fully understood, several factors may contribute to lipoma development:

• Genetic predisposition (family history of lipomas)

• Post-traumatic fat cell changes

• Metabolic or hormonal imbalances

• Conditions like familial multiple lipomatosis

Anyone can develop a lipoma, but they’re most common in adults between 30–60 years of age.

🧠 When Should You Consider Lipoma Removal?

You should consult a plastic surgeon if your lipoma:

• Causes pain or tenderness

• Grows rapidly or changes shape

• Restricts movement

• Appears in a cosmetically sensitive area (face, neck, arms, back)

• Becomes infected or ulcerated

• Affects your self-confidence

At ADORN, we prioritise precision removal with minimal scarring, making it ideal even for visible areas.

🛠️ Types of Lipoma Removal Procedures

Depending on the size, number, and location of the lipomas, Dr. Harsh Amin customizes the surgical plan:

1️⃣ Surgical Excision of lipoma

The most common and permanent solution.

The entire lipoma, including its capsule, is removed to prevent recurrence. Small incisions and fine sutures are used to ensure minimal scarring.

2️⃣ Minimal-Access Lipoma Removal

For small or multiple lipomas, a micro-incision technique is used — removing multiple lipomas through small keyhole openings, leaving almost invisible scars.

3️⃣ Liposuction-Assisted Lipoma Removal

In selected cases, especially when multiple lipomas are spread across an area, liposuction helps reduce the bulk with smaller cuts and faster recovery.

❓ FAQs — Lipoma Removal Surgery

1. Is lipoma removal painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia — completely painless.

2. Will the lipoma come back after surgery?

Once completely removed with the capsule, recurrence is very rare.

3. How long does the surgery take?

Usually 20–40 minutes for a single lipoma. Multiple lipomas may take 1–2 hours.

4. Is hospitalization required?

No. It’s a day-care procedure — you can go home the same day.

5. Will there be a scar?

Only a fine line, placed strategically to make it barely noticeable.

6. Can multiple lipomas be removed in one sitting?

Yes, multiple lipomas can be removed together using micro-incision methods.

7. Are lipomas cancerous?

No, they’re benign growths — though biopsy may be done for confirmation in some cases.

8. Can diet or exercise reduce lipomas?

No. Lipomas are encapsulated fat tumors and don’t shrink with diet or exercise.

9. What type of anesthesia is used?

Usually local anesthesia for small/multiple lipomas. For very large ones, mild sedation may be used.

10. Can lipomas reappear elsewhere?

Yes, new lipomas can form due to genetic tendency, but previously removed ones rarely recur.

11. Is it safe for diabetic or hypertensive patients?

Yes, with proper medical evaluation and clearance, the procedure is safe.

12. What is the recovery time?

Most patients return to work the next day. Full healing occurs in 1–2 weeks.

13. Will I need stitches removed?

Sometimes — depending on whether absorbable sutures are used.

14. Can the surgery be done under laser?

Laser is not suitable for lipoma removal; micro-surgical excision gives better, safer results.

15. How much does lipoma removal cost?

The cost depends on the number, size, and location of lipomas — typically starting from ₹5,000 onwards per lesion.
