I had a small lipoma on the back of my scalp removed by a dermatologist. 2 weeks later it grew back. I had it removed again. She said that it was deep so she couldn't remove it all and I'd have to go to a surgeon if I wanted it all gone. Both biopsies were benign. If I go to a surgeon, will it all be able to be removed? Will I have to go under general anesthesia?
I have a large lipoma measuring approximately 8cm x 10cm on the right side of my trunk causing no pain. My PS will only remove it under general anaesthesia. I would really like to avoid this, and from what Ive read, most lipomas can be removed under local. I understand that there is the possibility that the entire lipoma will not be able to be removed under local, but he still refuses to go that route. Should I get a second opinion or is this generally the case with a lipoma this large?
I have a large lipoma in my armpit, it's about 8-10cms. I have having surgery in about 10 days, I've been told it has to be under general as its deep and bleeding is a concern. I have done the research but either the lipomas are smaller or in a different location. What can I expect?
An initial attempt was made in doctors rooms to remove the Lipoma on the right but had to be halted once they realised that the Lipoma was attached to my ribs. Eventually both were surgically removed under general anaesthetic, the larger one on the left measuring 9cm x 5cm x 3cm. they were both benign.
I had a 11 cm lipoma removed from my back last week, under anesthetia. I stayed over night at the hospital. Post operation, they gave me a morphine based injection, which I had an allergic reaction to. I was discharged and have been home for 5 days now. The issue is that I feel very nauseas and out of it... Dizzy and as if I will faint. Is this normal?
Finally after 8 yrs Lipoma rupture last Nov.2016 thinking finally was over, I was wrong it gradually began to grow huge then turn RED. 2 months ago it ruptured again but green and clear fluid came out . It hurts and keeps leaking every day. General Anesthesia as it goes in IV I can't breathe before and after surg. I also cry when I wake up without being able to stop even if my Life depends on it I get put on 24hr hold in hosp. Can it be done with OUT General Anesthesia? I'm in OC need a Dr.
