How is lipoma removal surgery performed?

Lipoma removal is a simple and quick procedure done in the clinic under local anesthesia — no hospital needed.

Procedure Steps:

1. Local anesthesia: Anesthetic injected around the tumor — patient is awake and pain-free.
2. Incision: Small cut directly over the lipoma — approximately the same length as the tumor.
3. Extraction: Pressure applied to remove the tumor with its capsule completely (Enucleation). Complete capsule removal prevents recurrence.
4. Hemostasis: Stop any minor bleeding with electrocautery.
5. Closure: Cosmetic suturing with fine stitches — result is a very thin scar.
6. Histological examination: Tumor sent to lab to confirm it's benign.

After Surgery:

• Goes home immediately — no admission.
• Simple painkiller (Paracetamol) is sufficient.
• Change dressing every two days.
• Suture removal after 7-14 days.
