Mr. Chen contacted me through the internet after watching my videos. After the initial consultation, we confirmed that it was a lipoma, and I quickly arranged a surgery for him. I asked him curiously why he only considered removing it when the tumor was at least 15 cm in size. He told me that he didn’t care about the lipoma on his body because it didn’t affect his daily life and didn’t hurt or itch, but it restricted his sleeping position. However, this lipoma had a significant impact on his appearance and had already disrupted several budding relationships, which was very frustrating. To avoid missing out on another opportunity, he decided to have it removed.
Lipomas that grow on the back or abdomen are usually quite large. This lipoma had a complete capsule and had been estimated to have been present for at least seven years. It had fat cells that were grouped together by connective tissue, making its structure relatively simple, resulting in a shorter surgery time.
During the surgery, he even casually talked to me about his oily face problem. After the surgery, Mr. Chen laughed and said that the operation was faster than queuing for a popular restaurant at a department store. Before the surgery, he thought that the wound would be as large as the tumor, making him lie down to recover. However, the entire process took less than a morning, and the suture wound was not as large as the tumor, which he did not anticipate.
Surgery process for lipoma removal/skin tumor removal:
I will first explain the condition of the lipoma to the patient and confirm the size. In most cases, the surgery is performed under local anesthesia. In terms of incision design: I will try to use the smallest incision possible to complete the surgery. This will take more effort and time during the surgery, but the wound will be smaller, which means faster recovery, lower postoperative pain, and a smaller scar. After opening the incision, we start by slowly separating the tissue around the lipoma locally and then completely removing the entire tumor, followed by aligning and suturing the skin. The entire surgery usually takes less than an hour, and the patient can go home to rest on the same day without hospitalization.
Video record of Mr. Chen’s surgery:
Are you struggling with lipomas? Looking for a fast and effective solution with minimal recovery time, low pain, small scars, and minimal bleeding? Liusmed’s small incision lipoma surgery is your top choice! Our procedure requires no hospitalization or drainage tubes, and the incision size is less than 50% of the lipoma’s diameter. This is a significant advancement compared to traditional surgery, where the incision size typically matches the lipoma’s diameter. Our method drastically reduces wound size and scarring.
Smaller incisions significantly increase the difficulty! But when a patient hears about the minimal wound size and says, ‘The surgery was completely painless, thank you, doctor and team,’ leaving with satisfaction, it truly fills my heart with joy and gratitude!
