Has anyone had success treating lipomas with truSculpt?

Question

I have a large lipoma on my shoulder and I'm looking into non surgical alternatives to excision. I just want to avoid scarring and I’m nervous about general anesthesia. Any input or experience would be great. Thanks!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

noninvasive devices, kybella, even liposuction dont often work for lipomas. most need to be removed surgically. I suggest you see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

The proven method of removal of a lipoma is with surgical excision.  This would not necessarily require a general anesthetic.  In regards to alternative treatments, these would be considered somewhat experimental.  I do not believe that truSculpt or any other energy based fat reduction device would be successful in removing a lipoma.  One potential non-surgical treatment would be with Kybella injections.  I have not used this to try and remove a lipoma and not sure how well it might work.
