Is it better to lipo or cut out lipomas?

The best surgical technique is excision. They can be sent to pathology to make sure there is nothing else going on with the them.

In my experience, the best method to remove a lipoma is with excision and not liposuction. I find that excision can remove the entire lipoma and normally when the entire lipoma is removed, it will not come back in that particular location.
