Dermatologic surgery
Lipoma is a benign formation composed of adipose tissue that appears under the skin and presents as a soft, mobile, and well-demarcated nodule. Lipomas can frequently appear on areas such as back, shoulders, arms, abdomen, or thighs.
Excision of lipoma under 2 cm, performed by a dermatologist, represents a minor surgical procedure used for complete removal of this formation. Lipoma removal can be recommended when it increases in size, causes discomfort, becomes painful, or creates aesthetic concern.
The procedure consists of surgical excision of the lipoma, performed through a small skin incision, followed by complete removal of the formation and wound closure to promote optimal healing.
The intervention is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the procedure. After lipoma removal, the physician provides recommendations regarding post-procedural care and the healing process.
In certain situations, the excised tissue may be sent for histopathological examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Lipoma excision presents several advantages:
- complete removal of the formation
- reduced risk of recurrence
- safe and effective procedure
- good aesthetic result after healing
The procedure duration is generally 20–30 minutes, depending on the lipoma location.
