      What are lipomas?

      Lipomas may be defined as the non-cancerous, smooth, fatty lump that develops just under the skin’s surface, typically round or oval in shape. It's composed of fat cells, can be easily moved when touched, and does not cause any pain. Although lipomas can develop anywhere on the body, they most frequently occur on the neck, arms, shoulders, back, and trunk (torso). 

      Mostly, lipomas appear between the age of 40–60, but can develop at any point in life, including at birth. It can affect individuals of all genders, and are more prevalent in women.

      • Angiolipoma: It is made up of fat and blood vessels, and is often painful.
      • Conventional: It is a most common type of lipoma containing white fat cells. White fat cells store energy.
      • Fibrolipoma: It is made from fat and fibrous tissue.
      • Hibernoma: This type of lipoma is made from brown fat. Brown fat cells produce heat and help in regulating the body’s temperature.
      • Myelolipoma: This type of lipoma is made from fat and tissues that produce blood cells.
      • Spindle cell: These lipomas have more elongated fat cells, than the wider ones.
      • Pleomorphic: These lipomas contain fat cells of different shapes and sizes.

        Lipoma Surgery

        Recurrence of lipomas after surgical removal is rare. However, there can be an instance of reappearance, if the surgery didn't eliminate the surrounding fibrous capsule completely.

        Since lipomas are benign, there is no chance that they may become cancerous. A liposarcoma, a rare kind of cancer that develops in your fat, might resemble a lipoma in appearance.

        Usually, surgery is the only option for removing a lipoma completely.

        Below mentioned are some of the factors that are responsible for increasing the risk for developing a lipoma:

        • Age: Being between the age of 40 and 60 years.
        • Genetics: It tends to run in families.

        TaCa is having a team of skilled or good surgeons that are important because they know the significance of determining when surgery is necessary and when it's not. They recognize that the decision-making process holds more significance than the surgical procedure itself. Ultimately, the aim of any surgery is to serve the patient's well-being.

        Below mentioned are some of the complications which can occur after undergoing lipoma surgery:

        • Fever or chills
        • Redness, pus, swelling
        • Nausea/ vomiting
        • Itchy or swollen skin
        • Permanent scars

        Several factors are there which can be responsible for the cost of lipoma treatment:

        • Type and severity of lipoma
        • Type of surgical procedure performed
        • Hospital’s type and location 
        • Anesthesiologist fee
        • Medication cost
        • Cost of diagnostic tests

        Usually, recovery takes 2–3 weeks after surgery of large, painful lipomas. The sort of stitches the surgeon uses will determine whether they dissolve out on their own or need to be removed after 7–10 days.

        Most everyday tasks should be possible to resume straight away, but surgeon might recommend waiting a couple of days before exercising and about a week before performing vigorous sports activities.

        Benign lipomas generally have an excellent prognosis. While recurrence is not so common but it may occur if the removal procedure was incomplete.
