About Lipoma Treatment
A lipoma is a soft, rubbery lump that grows slowly under your skin. It is made of fat cells and is completely harmless (not cancer). You can usually move it around with your fingers, and it does not hurt unless it presses on a nerve. Lipomas are very common — about 1 in every 100 people develops one. They can appear anywhere on your body but are most often found on the neck, shoulders, back, arms, and thighs. While lipomas do not need to be removed for medical reasons in most cases, many people choose to get them removed because they look unsightly, are growing bigger, or cause discomfort. Dr. Adarsh M. Patil is one of the best doctors for lipoma treatment in Bangalore with over 30 years of surgical experience. He performs scarless lipoma removal at Apollo Clinic, Indiranagar, Bangalore using a minimal-incision technique — the fatty lump is removed completely along with its outer covering (capsule) through a tiny cut that heals with barely any visible mark. The entire procedure takes just 15–30 minutes under local anesthesia (numbing injection), so you stay awake, feel no pain, and go home the same day.
