Multiple Lipomatosis
Multiple Lipomatosis is a condition characterized by the presence of numerous lipomas—benign, soft, fatty lumps that form under the skin. While lipomas themselves are harmless, having several in different body areas can cause discomfort, cosmetic concerns, or restriction in daily activities. Multiple Lipomatosis can affect the arms, thighs, back, trunk, neck, and other regions, often growing slowly over time.
At our centre, Dr. B. R. N. Padmini offers specialized evaluation and treatment for Multiple Lipomatosis using advanced surgical techniques. The goal of treatment is not just removal but achieving smooth contour correction while ensuring minimal scarring and patient comfort. During consultation, each lipoma is assessed for its size, depth, and location to determine the best approach for safe removal.
Lipoma removal is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the number and size of the lumps. Through small incisions, Dr. Padmini carefully excises the lipomas, ensuring complete removal to reduce recurrence. For patients with multiple or larger lipomas, staged removal or combined techniques may be recommended.
Recovery is usually quick, with most patients returning to routine activities within a few days. Mild bruising or swelling may occur but resolves gradually. Treated areas often feel smoother, more comfortable, and aesthetically improved after healing.
Though lipomas are benign, their recurrence is common in individuals with Multiple Lipomatosis. Regular follow-ups help monitor new formations and treat them early. With Dr. B. R. N. Padmini’s expertise, patients receive individualized care and precise surgical outcomes that restore comfort and confidence.
