When diagnosed with a giant lipoma larger than 10cm, what most patients fear isn’t the surgery itself, but the long, centipede-like scar that remains.
In traditional surgical concepts, “Big Tumor = Big Incision” seems to be an unbreakable rule. However, at Liusmed Clinic, we have shattered this convention. This article explores how our “<20% Ultimate Minimally Invasive Technology” surpasses both the Korean MOTIF and Western MIE standards, allowing you to remove tumors while leaving virtually no trace.
What is “Wound Ratio” and Why Does It Matter?
The most objective metric for evaluating lipoma surgery techniques is the “Wound-to-Tumor Diameter Ratio.” Simply put, it answers the question: “How large of a cut does the doctor need to remove this tumor?”
- Traditional Surgery (100%): A 10cm tumor typically requires a 10cm (or longer) incision, making the scar impossible to hide.
- Standard Minimally Invasive (30-50%): While smaller than traditional methods, it still requires a 3-5cm wound.
Liusmed’s Exclusive Promise: Keeping the Wound Under 20%

The core of Liusmed Clinic’s refined technique is “Ultimate Minimally Invasive.” We promise to control the incision size to within 20% of the tumor’s diameter. This means: For a massive 10cm tumor, we only need a tiny incision of 2cm or less to remove it completely.
Data Speaks: Liusmed Technology vs. International Standards
To demonstrate the technical difference, we compared our results with the latest international clinical survey data (including Korean MOTIF and Western MIE techniques):
| Surgical Technique | Wound Ratio (Incision / Tumor Size) | Technical Difficulty | Scar Visibility | Source |
| Traditional Excision | 100% (Equal Length) | Low | Highly Visible | Standard Surgical Practice |
| Western MIE | 25% – 50% | Medium | Moderate | JAMA Dermatol 2014 |
| Korean MOTIF | 33% | High | Mild | Korean Study 2021 |
| Liusmed Ultimate MIE | < 20% (Industry Leading) | Very High | Virtually Invisible | Liusmed Clinic Clinical Data |
As shown above, even the renowned Korean MOTIF technique averages a wound ratio of 33%. Liusmed Technology successfully breaks this limit, pushing the ratio below 20%, demonstrating a technical standard significantly superior to international benchmarks.
Real Case Study: 14cm Giant Lipoma, 1.5cm Incision (11% Ratio)


Let’s look at a recent real-world case to prove these claims.
【Patient Background】
A 55-year-old male had a lump on his right shoulder for 5 years. Recently, the mass grew rapidly, severely affecting his appearance. He consulted multiple hospitals but was consistently told: “This tumor is too big; you need major surgery with an incision of at least 10-14cm.”
【Pre-operative Assessment】
Ultrasound confirmed a giant benign lipoma measuring 14 x 12 x 5 cm.
【Surgical Challenge & Result】
For a giant lipoma of this magnitude, traditional surgery guarantees a huge scar. However, under Dr. Liu Da-ru’s assessment, we utilized the “Ultimate Minimally Invasive Technique.”
- Tumor Diameter: 14 cm
- Actual Incision: Only 1.5 cm
- Wound Ratio: 11% (Far below our <20% standard)


(Caption: The post-op wound is only 1.5cm, hidden within skin folds, becoming nearly invisible after healing.)
This case not only successfully removed the complete tumor but achieved an astounding 11% wound ratio. This proves that even with giant tumors, aesthetic skin appearance does not need to be sacrificed.
Why Choose Liusmed’s “<20% Ultimate MIE”?
This technology isn’t just about making smaller cuts; it’s about prioritizing the patient’s quality of life:
- Ultimate Aesthetics: The incision is microscopic and usually hidden in skin lines, leaving virtually no trace.
- Rapid Recovery: Minimal tissue disruption and extremely low bleeding mean minimal post-op pain. Patients can return to normal activities the next day.
- Quantifiable Promise: We don’t just say “small wounds”; we give you a concrete data-driven commitment.
- 20+ Years of Experience: Dr. Liu Da-ru possesses over 20 years of experience in minimally invasive surgery, with tens of thousands of successful cases backing his expertise.
Conclusion: Don’t Let a Scar Define You
Although lipomas are mostly benign, leaving them untreated allows them to grow, increasing the difficulty of future removal. If you are looking for a treatment that can “eradicate the tumor” while “preserving your appearance,” Liusmed Clinic’s <20% Ultimate Minimally Invasive Technology is your safest choice.
You don’t have to choose between “Health” and “Beauty.” You can have both.
