Excision of a Huge Lipoma Under General Anesthesia

What is Excision of a Huge Lipoma?

A lipoma is a non-cancerous, fatty lump that grows beneath the skin. When a lipoma becomes too large or causes discomfort, surgical removal under general anesthesia is recommended. This procedure is suitable for patients experiencing:

• A large, growing lipoma that affects movement or daily activities.
• Pain or discomfort due to the size and location of the lipoma.
• Cosmetic concerns caused by a noticeable lump.
• Compression of nearby nerves or tissues leading to discomfort.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• The patient is placed under general anesthesia for a pain-free experience.
• A precise incision is made over the lipoma.
• The entire fatty lump is carefully removed to prevent recurrence.
• The incision is sutured closed, leaving minimal scarring.
• Most patients require a short hospital stay for monitoring before discharge.
