My husband has like more than 30 lipoma on his whole body. May I know which is the best method to remove the huge number of lipoma. And its hereditary lipoma for him because his dad and elder brother have too. His food habits worry me he is completely non vegetarian is it likely for him to get more of these?

Answer: Lipoma genetics Lipomas often run in families, and we do not know of anything that can prevent them, including diet. Most lipomas can be easily removed in the office under local anesthesia by making a small incision over the top, and then squeezing out the liopma. One or two stitches may be needed to close the incision.

Answer: #Lipoma - more than 20 Multiple lipomas such as these are actually not that uncommon. They are often slightly different from the more common single lipomas: these are small, firm and can be painful. They are usually angiolipomas, which means they have more connective tissue (and blood vessels) than single lipomas do.They can be removed simply: a small incision over each one, after which the lipoma is basically squeezed through the incision. Sutures may not be needed, although for larger ones sutures and/or a small drain may be used. If it's just a few it can easily be done in an office under local anesthesia. When I have patients who have multiple (sometimes over 50) on many parts of the body, sometimes deeper into the muscle, etc., I'll often suggest using some light anesthesia (sedation) to make the process more tolerable.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of RealSelf100
