My husband has like more than 30 lipoma on his whole body. May I know which is the best method to remove the huge number of lipoma. And its hereditary lipoma for him because his dad and elder brother have too. His food habits worry me he is completely non vegetarian is it likely for him to get more of these?
Answer: Depending on the location of the lipomas, they can be surgically removed. Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia. We would have to remove the lipoma to be sure that it is not something else and we usually do this by sending it to a pathologist for evaluation. If a lipoma is painful, then an exam is needed to make sure it is not compressing on a nerve or whether the diagnosis is different. Aftercare for a lipoma includes gentle compression and Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily on the wound.

Answer: Lipoma genetics Lipomas often run in families, and we do not know of anything that can prevent them, including diet. Most lipomas can be easily removed in the office under local anesthesia by making a small incision over the top, and then squeezing out the liopma. One or two stitches may be needed to close the incision.

Answer: #Lipoma - more than 20 Multiple lipomas such as these are actually not that uncommon. They are often slightly different from the more common single lipomas: these are small, firm and can be painful. They are usually angiolipomas, which means they have more connective tissue (and blood vessels) than single lipomas do.They can be removed simply: a small incision over each one, after which the lipoma is basically squeezed through the incision. Sutures may not be needed, although for larger ones sutures and/or a small drain may be used. If it's just a few it can easily be done in an office under local anesthesia. When I have patients who have multiple (sometimes over 50) on many parts of the body, sometimes deeper into the muscle, etc., I'll often suggest using some light anesthesia (sedation) to make the process more tolerable.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of RealSelf100
