Small incision lipoma removal is a minimally invasive, typically 15–45 minute outpatient procedure using local anesthesia to remove fatty tumors through a small 3-4mm opening. The surgeon makes a tiny incision—often the minimal one-third of the tumor size—using the "squeeze technique" to express the lipoma, or via suction-assisted liposuction for larger masses. This approach offers better cosmetic outcomes, faster healing, and minimal scar tissue. Key Aspects of Small Incision Lipoma Removal Procedure Technique: The doctor marks the lipoma, injects local anesthesia (often with adrenaline to minimize bleeding), and makes a small, precise incision. Removal Methods: Minimal Incision Technique: A 3-4mm incision is made, and the lipoma is teased out or "squeezed" out through the small hole. Liposuction-Assisted: For larger lipomas, a cannula breaks up and sucks out the fat, allowing for a much smaller incision. Laser-Assisted: A laser is used to make the incision and break down the fatty tissue for easier removal. Closure & Scarring: Due to the small incision, the site often requires only one or two stitches or is closed with surgical glue or tape, resulting in superior cosmetic results. Post-Procedure: The site is covered with a dressing, and the lipoma is sent for a biopsy. Patients usually go home the same day and can typically resume normal activities quickly. Benefits Reduced Scarring: Significantly smaller, less visible scars. Faster Recovery: Less tissue disruption leads to quicker healing.
