If you are struggling with a related situation currently, do not panic. It is a treatable problem and we are providing a perfect solution to target and treat it from its very core. Lipoma Treatment In Dubai is the safest and fastest way to eliminate the problem once and for all.
What Is Lipoma?
It is a fatty bump that slowly grows under your skin and often seems tender when touched. It usually develops in middle-aged adults. However, some people often develop more than one lump. These benign tumors are commonly found on the upper back, shoulders, arms, neck, thighs, and abdomen. They are usually painless and harmless but it is important to get them checked, as they can cause great discomfort if they press on blood vessels. In some cases, they can develop in muscles, nerves, or even internal organs.
Treatment:
It is a minimally invasive treatment that is either getting larger, causing pain, bothering you, or is very prominent. However, the aim is to provide effective results by removing this condition that has been making your life difficult. Choosing the right treatment for you requires a detailed analysis depending on the size and location of the bump and your personal preferences.
Purpose Of The Treatment:
This non-invasive procedure aims to remove the source of pain that’s been troubling you, causing discomfort or anxiety by delivering optimal results and improving your quality of life. What happens is that the fluid is extracted and the operated site is disinfected with the help of laser energy to completely discard the bacteria.
Results of Lipoma Treatment:
Individual experiences vary depending on the size and location as well as the treatment they go through. This is why, it is important to discuss and choose the right treatment, based on your specific circumstances. In addition, lifestyle factors such as healing ability and health conditions also influence the outcome and recovery of the process. However, success rates are very high as the main objective is complete removal, which will not only enhance your appearance but will also return you to your daily activities shortly.
Who Is A Suitable Candidate?
Although it is not a life-threatening problem it is ideal to get a check-up for the underlying complications.
- If the bump is located near or on the nerves or blood vessels, causing pain, discomfort, or numbness, be sure to consult with a medical professional.
- Similarly, if found near joints or muscles while restricting your movement.
- Rapidly growing in size, causing a disturbance in your daily activities.
- If a very prominent part of your body is affected and impacting your peace of mind, it is high time you sign up for a consultation with us.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
To ensure effective and successful results, we highly advise you to follow the instructions below:
- Keep the area clean by using antibacterial soap.
- Do not use any product containing any chemical near it.
- Do not shave the affected area.
- Discuss your medical history or any allergies you might have with your surgeon.
- Stop taking any medications at least 2-3 days before the treatment.
- Do not smoke or consume alcohol, as it may delay your healing process.
Procedure:
It generally depends on the type of treatment you choose and the size and location. Here is an overview of the techniques involved in different approaches:
Non-surgical options:
- Observation of the patient to monitor any changes or concerns.
- The surgeon uses a steroid injection, an anti-inflammatory medicine, and inserts it directly into the lipoma.
- The medication shrinks the lipoma by reducing inflammation.
- Although the procedure is quick and minimally invasive, it is less effective than surgeries.
Liposuction:
- This procedure requires local anesthesia to make sure you have a pain-free and comfortable experience.
- A tiny incision is made near the lipoma.
- A thin tube, known as a cannula, is inserted and attached to a suction device.
- The suction syringe is used to remove the fat cells through the cannula.
Surgical Excision:
- Local or general anesthesia may be used in this method, depending on the location and size of the lipoma.
- The surgeon makes a small incision over the lipoma.
- The whole lipoma is dissected and removed carefully.
- The incision is closed with stitches.
Aftercare Instructions:
The key to a successful recovery is to prioritize yourself by taking care of your health and following the instructions below:
- Wear a compression garment for a few days to help reduce swelling and bruising.
- Keep your wound clean and dry.
- If your surgeon has prescribed any medications, take them regularly according to the directions given.
- Avoid any physical activity to give your body time to fully recover.
- You would be strictly advised not to take a shower for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
- Maintain a healthy diet, especially fruits and vegetables, containing vitamin C.
Benefits of Lipoma Treatment:
- The treatment will restore the mobility and function of your body that was previously restricted by the lipoma.

- You would be free from any anxiety, burden, or worry it has been causing you.

- Mild pain, swelling, or bruising in the treated area.
- Temporary numbness or tingling, which is a rare case.
- Skin discoloration.
Recovery:
The recovery time varies greatly depending on several factors including each individual’s age, health, healing ability, the type of treatment used, and the location of the treated area. To give you a general idea, it may take up to the maximum duration of 1-4 weeks for you to fully recover. You are advised to remain patient throughout the healing process, as it may take some time to return to your daily activities.
