I have over 50 lipomas in each thigh and several in my upper arms as well. I do not want all the scars on my legs or arms, so I am considering liposuction to have the lipomas removed. When I spoke to my general practitioner, he informed me that this is not the way to go about it and I would need to get each one individually removed, but I have read online that some people do elect to have the liposuction procedure to remove the lipomas. Or if there is another procedure that you know of??
i had a lipoma in my upper left arm removed about 2 years ago. Biopsy showed benign results. However, a year after, a new one has formed and developed just beside the original area. Also, two other small lumps developed in my other arm. same area with those in the left arm. what is the reason for this? I am afraid to have them surgially removed again. I fear that if i do, new ones might develop again. please guide me what to do. Thank you
I am a 61 year old female. Have good health no medications but am overweight. I have a large 8cmx4cmx3cm Intramuscular Lipoma in my upper arm. It is affecting my mobility a bit. My DR. told me I do not have to do anything about it and just to let it go. That is not what I am finding to in my research. I have found they are rare and I should be removed. I have made an appointment with another doctor for a second opinion. I just wondered if iIam approaching this correctly?
Hi i suffer from multiple angiolipomas im 32 and have had over 30 removed. Ill be going in again soon to get more removed. They are very painful once they get larger and more tender to touch. Mostly in my upper legs and a couple in my arms. Im worried of the pain they cause and how many im getting and im the only one in my family that suffers from this. Thank you. Teigan.
I saw my nurse practioner 2 weeks ago for several issues one was a lump on my upper arm. After feeling it she said that it is a lipoma and not to worry. It has grown more in the past two weeks and is causing pressure and pain into my elbow. I will be seeing her again in two weeks for a follow up. How fast do these things grow? I am a survivor of stage 2 melanoma, should I be concerned?
I am 25years 5 feet tall and 59 kgs (overweight). I have lipoma in the right underarm (up and down). How to get rid of it without doing surgery. Is it harmful if I don't do anything and keep it as it is. Or else to get rid of it only by exercise
