What is Lipoma?

• Neck

• Pressure on nearby tissues
• Uncertainty about diagnosis

Important Facts About Lipoma:

Things To Consider Before Getting Lipoma Treatment in Islamabad:

Before undergoing treatment, one should get familiar with pre-procedural care tips, which include:

• Avoid targeted area one month prior to treatment
• Avoid taking blood thinner medicines like ibuprofen or aspirin 72 hours before treatment
• Take a bath with germicide soap one day before the treatment

Lipoma Treatment Options In Islamabad:

Liposuction for Lipoma:

Patients often ask whether liposuction can be used to remove a lipoma since it is a fatty tumor. This is a valid question. A lipoma has a capsule surrounding the fatty tumor, and ideally, both the fat and the capsule should be removed through surgery.

• Small, Isolated Lipomas – A small incision can be made to remove the entire lipoma along with its capsule.
• Multiple or Sensitive Area Lipomas – In such cases, gentle liposuction may be performed. However, since the capsule cannot be fully removed with liposuction and only the fat is extracted, there is a higher chance of recurrence.
  Lipoma Removal Surgery 

Lipoma Removal Surgery: 

• Whether or not a lipoma needs to be removed depends on its location. 
• If it appears on the hands, face, or any area where it significantly alters appearance or restricts movement, surgery is usually necessary. 
• Many patients come to us with concerns about lipomas, which can be single or multiple.
• Typically, these lumps are soft, located under the skin, and slightly mobile when touched. In such cases, surgery is usually indicated if the lipoma bothers the patient.

Steroid Injection:

It is a non-invasive technique to eliminate Lipoma from the skin. Through steroid injectables, fatty lumps are dissolved.

Lipoma treatment is a simple and safe procedure designed to remove the fatty lump while protecting the surrounding skin and tissue. At Glamorous Clinic Islamabad, each step is planned carefully for comfort, hygiene, and smooth healing. The treatment usually takes a short time and most patients return home the same day.

• Consultation & Examination: The doctor checks the lump, size, location, and symptoms to confirm if it is a lipoma.
• Anesthesia Preparation: Local anesthesia is commonly used to numb the area and keep the procedure comfortable.
• Small Incision & Removal: A precise cut is made to remove the lipoma completely, often including its capsule.
• Closure & Dressing: The skin is closed with stitches if needed and covered with a clean dressing.
• Recovery & Follow-Up: Mild swelling may occur, and follow-up ensures proper healing and scar care.
