Will using liposuction for lipoma removal help with nerve damage? (photo)

February 7, 2023
Asked By:Daisygirl1992 in Avon Park, Florida

I had a hip replacement 10 months ago. 2 1/2 months later, a lump started developing, which I was told was a seroma. It ended up being a lipoma which was removed. Four days later, the lump reappeared and was aspirated three times. I am told the area is now filled with fat and has nerve damage. Will liposuction reduce the fat and possibly illuminate the nerve pain if the fat is pressing on the nerves? It’s about the size of 1/2 of a softball.
