Is there another way to remove or dissolve lipomas?

Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia. We would have to remove the lipoma to be sure that it is not something else and we usually do this by sending it to a pathologist for evaluation. If a lipoma is painful, then an exam is needed to make sure it is not compressing on a nerve or whether the diagnosis is different. Aftercare for a lipoma includes gentle compression and Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily on the wound.

Hi thanks for your query,non surgical options will only soften and reduce in size .surgical option is the best ,here we do  use an highly innovative technique in removal with minimal scars,do see the video link below for further info.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Though considered an off-label use of the product, Kybella can be injected into the lipoma to dissolve its fat and make the mass less noticeable.  The draw back to this treatment is you can not ensure complete removal of the lipoma to prevent its recurrence.  Hope this helps.
