Lipoma (wen) removal

Lipomas, commonly known as "fatty tumors," are benign growths composed of adipose tissue. While they are generally harmless, they can sometimes cause discomfort and cosmetic concerns.

Symptoms of Lipoma

It is recommended to consult with a doctor if you notice any of the following signs related to a lipoma:

  • A noticeable lump or mass under the skin that is soft to the touch.
  • Rapid growth of the lump.
  • Pain and/or discomfort in the area of the growth.
  • Limited mobility if the lipoma is located near a joint.
  • Cosmetic changes affecting self-esteem and confidence.

When to Contact a Doctor

While lipomas are usually not a threat to health, it's important to consult a doctor if the following changes or symptoms occur:

  • The lipoma grows rapidly or changes shape.
  • Pain arises, which is characteristic of a lipoma located near nerves or causing pressure on tissues.
  • Inflammation or redness of the skin, which may indicate infection or other problems.
  • Limitations in movement if the lipoma is near a joint or other mobile area.
  • Recurrence or appearance of multiple lipomas simultaneously, which may indicate hereditary lipomatosis. Timely medical evaluation will help determine the need for removal.

Indications and Contraindications

Indications for removal of lipoma:

  • Discomfort or pain caused by the lipoma.
  • Rapid growth or change in appearance of the growth.
  • Cosmetic reasons, especially if the lipoma is in a noticeable place.
  • Disruption in normal function or movement.

Contraindications:

Contraindications include medical conditions that may affect wound healing speed or increase surgical risks. Small lipomas that cause no problems are typically not removed.

How Lipoma Removal is Performed

Preparation:

Before the procedure, the doctor conducts a detailed consultation and physical examination. If necessary, diagnostics are prescribed to evaluate the growth and confirm the diagnosis. The method of anesthesia is selected, and recommendations regarding medication and diet prior to surgery are given.

Stages of the Lipoma Removal Procedure:

  1. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered before starting the procedure. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used, depending on the lipoma's size and location.
  2. Surgery: The doctor makes a small incision over the lipoma. The fatty tissue is carefully removed, often in one piece, reducing the risk of recurrence.
  3. Closing the Wound: The incision is carefully sutured after removing the growth. Depending on the location and size, internal stitches that do not need removal or external stitches that are removed after healing may be used.
  4. Postoperative Care:The doctor provides guidelines for postoperative wound care, pain management, and activity limitation.

Recovery and Monitoring: 

Healing takes several weeks, during which it is important to follow all instructions. Follow-up visits are scheduled to assess the healing process and remove stitches if they don't dissolve on their own.

Typically, at Dobrobut Medical Center, lipoma removal is safe, with minimal risks and maximum comfort for the patient. Complications are rare, but it's necessary to monitor the surgical area to timely detect signs of infection, bleeding, scarring, or recurrence.

Prevention

Since the exact cause of lipomas is unknown, there is no specific prevention. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and a balanced diet, can help reduce risk factors associated with lipoma growth. Regular medical check-ups ensure early detection and treatment of lipomas and their recurrences.
