What is Lipoma Removal?

Lipomas can occur in various parts of the body and may lead to physical discomfort or self-consciousness. Athēnix's lipoma removal is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia for your comfort. Surgically removing the lipoma restores a smooth, aesthetically pleasing appearance to the area.

The Benefits of Lipoma Removal

Consult an Athēnix provider for lipoma removal and experience the following benefits.

  • Relief from discomfort: Removal can alleviate pain, tenderness, and discomfort caused by the lipoma's pressure on surrounding tissues.
  • Improved aesthetics: Lipomas are often noticeable beneath the skin; removal enhances cosmetic appearance.
  • Prevention of complications: Lipomas may grow larger over time, leading to potential complications or interference with daily activities.
  • Enhanced self-esteem: Improved appearance and relief from discomfort can boost self-confidence and well-being.
  • Minimal scarring: Modern techniques aim for minimal scarring, ensuring a cosmetically appealing result.
  • Quick recovery: Lipoma removal is typically an outpatient procedure with a relatively short recovery period.

How it Works

Lipoma removal involves making small incisions to access and excise the lipoma. Our surgeons perform the procedure under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout, and strategically placed incisions minimize scarring.

Targeted Treatment Areas

Lipoma removal can address fatty lumps in various parts of the body, including:

  • Neck
  • Arms
  • Legs
  • Back
  • Abdomen
  • Chest
palm trees and skylines

Your Recovery Process

Following the removal of your lipoma, you may encounter mild discomfort at the treatment site for a few days. Typically, symptoms can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain medications for 1-3 days. Your provider may recommend periodic ice application for relief. It's advisable to refrain from strenuous exercise for approximately a week to allow proper healing of the surgical wound.

Comforting Results

Thanks to Athēnix’s minimally invasive techniques, scarring is expected to be minimal. Lipoma removal offers transformative results, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics. As the area heals, your results will give you renewed confidence and improved well-being.
