When Should You See a Doctor?

Not all lipomas require immediate treatment, but you should consult a doctor if you notice:

A lump that is rapidly growing in size.
Pain or discomfort in the area of the lump.
A lipoma that restricts your movement or presses on nerves.
Cosmetic concerns due to visible lumps.
Redness, tenderness, or signs of infection around the lump.

If you experience these symptoms, a professional evaluation is important to rule out other conditions and to discuss treatment options.

How is Lipoma Diagnosed?

Diagnosis of lipoma is usually straightforward and involves:

A doctor checks the lump’s texture, size, and mobility.
Family history and prior health conditions are considered.
Ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans may be done for deeper or larger lipomas.
Rarely, a small tissue sample may be tested to rule out cancerous growths such as liposarcoma.

Advanced Treatment Options for Lipoma

Treatment is only necessary if the lipoma is painful, growing, or cosmetically concerning. Options include:

Surgical Excision

The most common method.
Involves making a small incision and removing the fatty lump.
Prevents recurrence in the treated area.

Laser Lipoma Removal

Minimally invasive and precise.
Uses laser energy to cut and remove the lump with minimal scarring.
Faster healing and reduced risk of infection.

Liposuction for Lipoma

Used for softer, less fibrous lipomas.
Fat is suctioned out through a thin tube.
Leaves minimal scarring but may not be suitable for all cases.

At Pristyn Care Delhi, surgeons prefer laser-assisted excision for its safety, effectiveness, and better cosmetic results.

Recovery Time

Most patients recover quickly after lipoma removal. With minimally invasive techniques, recovery usually takes 3 to 7 days. Swelling and mild discomfort may last for a few days but can be managed with prescribed medication. Normal activities can often be resumed within a week.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before procedure: You will undergo a detailed consultation, including medical evaluation and diagnostic tests. The doctor will explain treatment options and outcomes.

During procedure: Local anesthesia is generally used. The surgeon makes a small incision or uses a laser to remove the lipoma. The process usually takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and number of lipomas.

After procedure: Patients can go home the same day. Mild soreness, swelling, or bruising is common but temporary. Proper wound care ensures quick recovery.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

Day 1 to 3: Some soreness and swelling are expected. Patients should rest and avoid strenuous activity.
Week 1: Most swelling reduces, and stitches (if any) are checked. Daily activities can be resumed.
Week 2 to 3: Healing progresses, and scars begin to fade.
Week 4: Complete recovery with negligible discomfort.

Post-treatment care tips:

Keep the incision area clean and dry.
Follow the prescribed medication course.
Avoid lifting heavy objects or intense exercise for at least a week.
Attend follow-up appointments for wound assessment.
