What is a lipoma?

Lipoma is excess cell growth that forms lumps under the skin. They are non-cancerous tumors and are technically harmless. They develop from fatty tissue but can also contain blood cells or other tissues as well. Lipoma is a common condition, affecting 1 in every 1000. The causes are still unknown, but they tend to appear more often in people with conditions such as Gardner’s syndrome, and Madelung’s disease. Hereditary factors can also play a significant role in their development. Lipoma appears in areas with fat cells, typically in the shoulders, trunk, neck, arms, and thighs.

What are the symptoms of a lipoma?

Lipoma is not painful unless it puts pressure on a nerve or other tissues. However, some physical changes in the affected areas cannot go unnoticed. These symptoms include:

Oval lumps under the skin

Growing gradually

Feeling soft

Moving easily with a poke

Lipoma removal at Beuaté Concept

If lipoma has become an aesthetic concern for you then their removal may be the best treatment option. You can experience a safe lipoma treatment in Dubai after a proper examination and diagnosis in our aesthetic clinic. The procedure is minimally invasive unless the lumps have grown in multiple places. It is typically performed under local anesthesia and is an excisional biopsy. This means the procedure removes the entire lump and sometimes some of the neighboring skin tissue. Your surgeon may decide to make the incision about the same size as your lipoma or squeeze and remove it through a smaller cut. The squeeze method is effective only if your lipoma is small. Lipoma excision usually takes about an hour.

How are lipomas diagnosed?

A simple physical examination run by a specialist can usually diagnose lipoma. The technique includes touching and feeling the bump. If the tumor is tender or painful, then more tests are necessary. Further medical examinations may include:

Biopsy

Ultrasound

CT scan

MRI scan
