Home Lipoma - fatty lump removal

Lipoma removal: When and why is Surgical treatment appropriate?

Lipoma is a subcutaneous benign fatty tumor that is often multiple. These fatty lumps, or fatty growths, can grow unnoticed for up to several years and then show up as a visible lump on the skin. The skin itself remains unchanged.

Even though lipomas are mostly harmless and rarely turn into malignant tumours (carcinomas), excision of a fatty lump is advisable, especially when it causes discomfort to the patient. It may be for aesthetic reasons, or the lipoma may be causing uncomfortable pressure in its surroundings.

If you are interested in removing a lump on your head, or are bothered by an inflamed fatty lump on your neck or elsewhere on your body, for example, feel free to send us pictures or photos and come in for a consultation. We leave nothing to chance and in unclear cases, we will map the finding immediately with ultrasound.

Surgical removal of lipoma: The procedure and Recovery

At ATODA Medical, we remove lipomas painlessly under local anesthesia. Even for larger lipomas, outpatient removal is possible, and we then adapt the anaesthesia to the size of the tumour: we combine local anaesthesia with intravenous or inhalation anaesthesia to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

In surgery, removal of lipoma is considered a standard procedure where the lumps are removed along with the surrounding tissue. After lipoma removal, the patient can expect a very short recovery. The recovery period varies depending on the size and location of the removed lipoma. A fatty lump on the testicle takes a different amount of time to heal than a fatty lump on the back.

Patients are often able to return to normal life immediately. At ATODA Medical, we will provide you with any specific instructions regarding care and restrictions in the days following the procedure and arrange any follow-up visits to monitor the healing process.

Fat lump: Where can you find it?

Lipoma is more commonly known to people as a fatty lump. You may have already found some on different parts of your body in the past. In men, lumps often appear on the testicles and scrotum, in women on the breast.

But it's not unusual for anyone to feel a lump under the skin in the armpit, but also on the buttocks or abdomen, and less common are findings on the heels. On the face, for example, it can be on the eyelid, near the eye, on the chin or under the eyes. Such lipomas are usually soft to the touch, mobile and tend not to cause pain.

Fatty lump removal: The price and other costs

Do you want to have a lipoma removed? The cost of removing a fatty lump depends on several factors, such as the location of the lump, its size and the technique used to remove it.

Come to us for a consultation and we'll give you a transparent explanation of the full cost of removal: whether it's pre-operative tests, the surgery itself, anesthesia services or follow-up care. It is important to us that the patient can make an informed decision regarding the removal of the fatty lump.

We were here for a newborn hip check. We got an appointment the same day I called. We went to the office right on time. The doctor was very nice and caring. Thank you!

I've already used services of more specialists in Atoda Medical and every time I was satisfied with high quality service and very pleasant approach. All the same I can say about the nurses and receptionists who were always willing and quick to respond to any of my requests.
