This short video shows lipoma removal by liposuction in Surat performed at Elegance Clinic under Dr. Ashutosh Shah, Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon. It takes you through each step of the procedure on the arm, from marking the lipoma to removing the fatty mass through a small incision, and ends with a real before-and-after result.
A lipoma is a soft, slow-growing lump made of fatty tissue that forms under the skin. Lipomas are usually benign (non-cancerous) and commonly appear on the arms, back, shoulders, neck or thighs. Many cause no symptoms, but some people choose removal because of size, discomfort or appearance. Any new or growing lump should be examined by a doctor to confirm what it is.
The video ends with a before-and-after of the treated arm, showing the area after the lump was removed.
Traditional lipoma surgery removes the lump through an incision roughly the size of the lipoma. Liposuction-assisted removal uses a much smaller incision, which may mean a smaller scar. It is usually considered for soft lipomas, larger lipomas or cases with more than one lump. Not every lipoma is suitable for this method. The doctor decides the best approach after examining the lump.
Most patients return to routine activities within a short time. Mild swelling, bruising or tenderness around the treated area may occur and usually settles over the following days to weeks. A compression dressing or garment may be advised, and patients should follow the surgeon’s aftercare instructions and attend follow-up visits.
As with any procedure, there are possible risks, including bleeding, infection, uneven contour, and the chance of the lipoma coming back. These should be discussed before treatment.
At Elegance Clinic, every lipoma case is assessed and treated under the care of Dr. Ashutosh Shah, Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon. The treatment plan depends on the size, number and location of the lipomas, with a focus on minimal scarring and a smooth contour.
