Lipoma Removal in Mumbai
Day-care lipoma excision with virtually invisible scars.
What is Lipoma?
A lipoma is a benign tumour made up of fat cells that form a lump under the skin. They are usually harmless and don't require treatment unless they cause pain or discomfort, or are cosmetically unappealing.
Symptoms to watch for
- Soft movable lump
- Slowly growing
- Painless usually
- Just under the skin
Common causes
- Genetic predisposition
- Familial multiple lipomatosis
- Often unknown
Treatment at DLPC
Treatment is usually not necessary unless the growth becomes painful or bothersome.
Surgical removal is an option for cosmetic reasons or if the lipoma causes discomfort or interferes with other functions. Growth should be monitored so that treatment can be given at the right time.
Why treat early — Implications
- Typically harmless — but any change in size, shape or texture should be monitored, as in rare cases these can be signs of a cancerous growth.
