I have several lipomas, and I would number them in the hundreds (the biggest being roughly 2" long). My trunk and arms are the worst affected. I am not over weight and very fit so the lipomas look more obvious (hideous). What is the best method for removing several lipomas?
Answer: New Technique of Multiple Lipoma Removal (>300 in a single procedure) There is a unique technique by whic we can remove all the lipomas with minimal cuts. Hope this video will be helpful for persons suffering from this problem and for surgeons to understand this new procedure.Here, we infiltrate the tumescent fluid, followed by power assisted liposuction of the Lipoma. His helps in about 60% Lipoma volume reduction. The remnant Lipomas are squeezed removed through small nicks.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Multiple Lipomas You most likely have the diagnosis of familial lipomatosis (other family members will have the same problem). Lipomatosis is believed to be a dominant trait in which multiple lipomas are present. Most are discrete, encapsulated lipomas on the trunk and extremitiesAlthough this condition is benign, many patients concerned with cosmesis seek removal of individual tumors. Treatment can include simple excision, endoscopic removal, or liposuction if large. Find the most qualified plastic surgeon to take care of this problem.

Answer: Many Lipomas can be removed through a small hole Board certified dermatologic surgeons usually have a lot of experience removing lipomas. One of the tricks I use to completely remove them quickly, leaving only a small scar is to use a surgical tool called a "punch" which creates a small hole in the skin above the lipoma and then pull the lipoma through the hole. Several can be done in under an hour.

Answer: Treatment of multiple lipomas
The only way to effectively remove these lipomas is to stage surgical resection of them. All other treatments are not time proven.

Answer: Smartlipo is a minimally-invasive method to remove large lipomas
Dear Dune,
I would first excise a few of the more noticeable ones and perform a pathologic exam to confirm they are lipomas. If they are ordinary lipomas then further excisions can be performed. If you have pathologic variants of lipomas (angiolipoma, angiomyolipoma, or even cysts) these may signal a genetic predisposition for underlying tumors and warrant further investigation of your general health.
Multiple lipomas can be safely removed with standard excisional surgery under local anesthesia. In cases where a lipoma is on the upper trunk and greater than several inches, the Smartlipo (laser lipolysis) method is equally effective with less scarring.
