Lipoma Surgery
What is Lipoma Surgery?
Lipoma surgery involves the complete removal of the fatty lump through a small incision under local or regional anesthesia. The procedure is straightforward and aims to remove the lipoma along with its capsule to prevent recurrence.
A lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) lump of fatty tissue that develops slowly under the skin. While lipomas are usually painless and harmless, they may require surgical removal if they grow in size, cause discomfort, restrict movement, or raise cosmetic concerns. At Narayana’s Hospital, we offer safe and effective lipoma surgery using modern surgical techniques to ensure optimal results and faster recovery.
