Is Lipoma Removal Like Liposuction?

You run the risk of lipoma recurrence if they are not completely removed. I have used liposuction in select cases for lipomas that are very difficult to get to or intimately associated with the facial nerve. However, there is a trade off that the lipoma might recur and require additional treatment. Therefore, for easily accessible lipomas they are typically removed in their entirity.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Lipomas are harmless and can be ugly bumps that are noticeable but the ugly scar from excision surgery can look worse.
Power assisted liposuction with a 2 mm canula can debulk the fat mass and then a currette scraping of the pseud lining finishes off the job under local anesthesia with no scar at all for about $350 for a small lipoma.
