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
Answer: It is recommended to get lipomas removed surgically. Size will determine if done under local or general anesthesia 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.

Answer: Tumescent liposuction best option for nonsurgical removal of large lipoma Lipoma is a benign entity and can be left alone unless it bothers you cosmetically or medically. Seek out a liposuction surgeon who has experience in removing lipoma using tumescent liposuction technique where the scarring would involve a couple small marks with recovery taking a couple days. On the other hand if the 'lipoma' appears to be steadily growing, then surgical excision may be advisable where specimen can be submitted for pathology to rule out liposarcoma, i.e. the rare malignant cousin of lipoma.

Answer: Removal of Lipomas A lipoma is a benign fat collection, and the diagnosis should be made by a physician. If it is a true lipoma, it is entirely harmless but can be surgically cut out with usually a small scar. Occasionally, a lipoma can be injected by experienced physicians with a fat-dissolving agent such as deoxycholate or even cortisone.

Answer: If it's really a lipoma, you don't need to remove it Lipoma is a benign accumulation of fat. However there is a malignant tumor of the fat and is called liposarcoma. These are usually large, and fast growing.
