Lipomas are accumulations of fatty tissue in various areas of the body. A lipoma typically presents as a soft, rounded mass beneath the skin.
Lipoma removal is a surgical procedure, performed under local anesthesia. Postoperatively, the patient can immediately return home, and the removed lesion is sent for histopathological examination.
In cases where the removed lipoma is extensive and requires the removal of skin and subcutaneous tissues, plastic surgery can utilize a variety of surgical flaps, which are cleverly designed in the adjacent skin to achieve closure of the problematic area. After suture removal, specific instructions are provided for the care of the area, aiming for the best possible aesthetic outcome.
