how various lipoma can be removed from the body?

---

I have several lipoma's in my body. 7 to 8 on my both hands and both legs and 1 on my stomach
nice question,
i have all over the body, atleat 30 to 40 of them in various sizes, visible
consulted allopathy doctors suggessions were-not do do any thing untill they cause any severe pain or abnrmal bunging in short time etc.
surgery i guss would be good if you are serious in removing them but, what if you get again,
this is said to be heriditary, so, surgery may not be the answer

i started taking homeopathy medicine, though promissed by the physician there is no response yet on my body, he said it may take some time(6months now). i have these from last 20years so,

so, either dont bother or temprorary surgery if you feel to remove them  (+ info)

Will the lipoma on my back stop me from having children?

---

I'm still scared about getting the lipoma on my back removed because of the results that will follow after the completed procedure. I'm also scared that once I get it removed, I won't be alive, strong, and well enough to have babies. I just want to know if it will, in any shape or form, stop me from having children.
It will not stop you from having chidren. Lipomas are harmless fatty tumors. I had one on my back that was the size of a fist. I had it removed and I am so glad I did. The pain was minimal. Recovery was easy.  (+ info)

I was wondering if anyone knows what the statistic is for a female to have a lipoma under twenty.?

---

I've done a little more research, and I know that it is rare all ready for my age (19 years old) to have a lipoma, but I actually have two! I was just wondering how rare it actually is for someone my age to have a lipoma.
I had a lipoma removed when I was 16. I had another one removed just recently at 26. It was in the same spot, this doctor doesn't think the first doctor got all of it. It is generally more common in older people, but it is getting more common for people in there twentys.  (+ info)

Can a woman in her mid-thirties still get pregnant if she has fibroids and lipoma?

---

Also, will the children be all right?
I have fibroids and had a healthy child in my late 30's. If you're trying to get pregnant, you should discuss things with your doctor.  (+ info)

Is lipoma still benign if you have had it for 15 years?

---

I ask this question because I am getting it removed sometime this year, and I am still scared about the results that will follow after the dangerous procedure. For all I know, I might die after the procedure is completed.
Lipomas are by definition benign and there's no evidence they become cancerous. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and doesn't require an overnight hospital stay. If you're anxious. please talk to your doctor.

I also want to know the following:

1. What will happen to me after the procedure?

3. Will I be strong after the procedure?
Don't worry. You will be just fine. It is a simple procedure.  (+ info)

I have had a lipoma growth on my lower back for 12 years, and considering getting it removed. Is it harmless?

Will I be all right once it is removed from my body for good? Is it dangerous? I'm scared as to what the results will be.
Lipomas are NOT harmful; they can just be unsightly and people remove them for cosmetic reasons.
Lipoma - Topic Overview
What is a lipoma?
A lipoma is a growth of fat cells in a thin, fibrous capsule usually found just below the skin. Lipomas are found most often on the torso, neck, upper thighs, upper arms, and armpits, but they can occur almost anywhere in the body. One or more lipomas may be present at the same time. Lipomas are the most common noncancerous soft tissue growth.

What causes a lipoma?
The cause of lipomas is not completely understood, but the tendency to develop them is inherited. A minor injury may trigger the growth. Being overweight does not cause lipomas.

What are the symptoms of a lipoma?
Lipomas usually:

Are small [0.4 in. to 1.2 in.] and felt just under the skin.
Are movable and have a soft, rubbery consistency.
Do not cause pain.
Remain the same size over years or grow very slowly.
Often the most bothersome symptom is the location or increased size that makes the lipoma noticeable by others.

How are lipomas diagnosed?
A lipoma can usually be diagnosed by its appearance alone, but your health professional may want to remove it to make sure the growth is noncancerous.

How are lipomas treated?
Lipomas do not generally require treatment. Because lipomas are not cancerous growths and cannot become cancerous, they do not need to be removed. There is no known treatment to prevent lipomas or affect their growth.

A lipoma may be surgically removed if symptoms develop, such as if the lipoma:

Becomes painful or tender.
Becomes infected or inflamed repeatedly.
Drains foul-smelling discharge.
Interferes with movement or function.
Increases in size.
Becomes unsightly or bothersome.
Most lipomas can be removed in the doctor's office or outpatient surgery center. The doctor injects a local anesthetic around the lipoma, makes an incision in the skin, removes the growth, and closes the incision with stitches (sutures). If the lipoma is in an area of the body that cannot be easily reached through a simple incision in the skin, the lipoma may need to be removed in the operating room under general anesthesia.

Who is affected by lipomas?
Lipomas occur in all age groups but most often appear in middle age. Single lipomas occur with equal frequency in men and women. Multiple lipomas occur more frequently in men.  (+ info)

if i have the lipoma on my cheek removed by surgery?

---

Ok it's the size of a pea and i know i will have a scar as a result.What i would like to know is that how large would the scar be in diameters? I had one removed before and it left a bad scar because of bad stitching and i don't want another ugly scar on my face,so if i will have a large scar i might try lipodissolve or something else?
The scar is usually twice the size of the lipoma. By applying bacitracin or neosporin antibiotic ointment regularly for several weeks after the sutures have been removed will decrease the amount of scarring that you will have. And, applying Vitamin E oil to the scar for an even longer period of time will give you a better cosmetic outcome.  (+ info)

I have been diagnosed with a lipoma and I have to have it removed. What is the recovery time?

---

I have had this lump of fat on my shoulder for 2 years and it has gotten bigger. The doctor agrees with me that it should be removed.
Often, these are removed in the office so you can resume your normal life immediately. You will have to keep it dry for 24 hours and can just take tylenol or advil for pain (it won't be bad).  (+ info)

Is lipoma harmless no matter how long you have it on your body?

---

I am so sorry to keep asking this. However, I'm still worried and scared about the results will be once I get it removed.
well, it would depend on the location of the lipoma as theoretically it could cause symptoms if it were pressing on other organs or was in a very confined space, though this would be rare and you would probably already be having symptoms and even in this case the lipoma is still benign, its just in a bad spot. if it is a lipoma then it shouldnt become malignant (as the definition of a lipoma is that its benign)

i woudlnt loose too much sleep over it, everything will most likely end up being fine!  (+ info)
