Will exercise make my lipoma go away? If so, what type of exercise are effective at getting rid of lipomas?
Lipomas exist in the very thin and very obese patient. They are unresponsive to diet and exercise. The best approach is surgical removal via direct excision or liposuction.
I might have a lipoma on my temple. I am getting an MRI. The doctor said I should have a plastic surgeon remove it. I want to make sure there is no dent or strange shape after its removed. If its an experienced plastic surgeon will my temple look the same?
It would be helpful to have a photo but in general lipomas can be removed through a carefully placed incision. Therefore, the final well healed scar is usually not a concern. As for a "dent", it's always a possibility and is determined by the size, how long it's been present, the depth if invasion, surrounding soft and bony tissue atrophy, etc. If a cosmetically unexceptable depression exists afterward, then it could potentially be improved with dermal fillers. Hope this helps.
I understand lipoma's can recur if some tissue was missed upon removal. That seems to be my issue after having a lipoma in my wrist removed 16 months ago. Unfortunately it causes me pain if I use my hand for long periods of time and seems to get larger as well (Swelling of the wrist causing it to become more raised?) Is there any other option other than sugery to fix this?
A lipoma of the wrist is an unusual location so I would be sure that the pathology report states that it is truly is a lipoma. Another common mass in that region would be a ganglion cyst and they can recur. I would also recommend an MRI to evaluate the size and location of your current mass. This will help guide the surgeon during the removal. If it is really a lipoma, then there really isn't another option other than surgery.
