Is it possible to remove lipoma using a non-surgical method?

Thank you for sharing your question.  Unfortunately topical treatments like aloe vera gel, heat, and damp cloths will not improve or cure lipomas.  Only surgical intervention to remove the affected fat can produce a permanent improvement.  Hope this helps.

Multiple nonsurgical treatments have been tried and none work as well as surgical excision - both in terms of permanent removal and cost effectiveness. Steroid injections may temporary cause lipomas to look smaller but do not eliminate them. Liposuction can be used in larger masses but require a scar (tiny) and have a fairly high recurrence rate as the lipoma is not removed in one complete unit but rather in pieces. A new drug (brand name Kybella) is a gallbladder enzyme which dissolves fat but is considered cosmetic, may require multiple injections and may be costly;it is generally reserved for fatty tumors/deposits around the chin and neck. In individuals with multiple lipomas, surgical removal with the tiniest, most cosmetically favorable incisions possible is the preferred mode of treatment. Good luck and take care.
