  Lipomas are common, benign subcutaneous tumors of fat cells (adipocytes) that present as soft, painless nodules that are most commonly seen on the trunk. […] The majority of the patients who seek treatment for lipomas are due to cosmetic reasons. Lipomas do not involute spontaneously, although dramatic weight loss may make lesions more clinically prominent as they may not regress at the same rate as normal adipose tissue. […] If treatment is desired, surgical excision is commonly employed. Large lipomas have been removed via liposuction. […] Therapies such as endoscopy and colonoscopy are utilized for the lipomas of the gastrointestinal tract (GI). Colonoscopic removal of lipomas is associated with a higher risk of colon perforation. […] Complete surgical excision of the capsule is recommended.

[…] No contraindications for removing a lipoma exist, unless the patient is unfit for surgery or anatomic location makes removal unfeasible (as in the case, for example, of an intraspinal lipoma). Benign lipomas are simply „shelled out,” with complete removal of the capsule in an extracapsular plane. […] Nonoperative therapy includes endoscopic excision of tumors in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract (ie, esophagus, stomach, or duodenum) or the colon.

[…] Most lipomas can be removed in the doctor’s office or outpatient surgery center. The doctor injects a local anesthetic around the lipoma, makes an incision in the skin, removes the growth, and closes the incision with stitches (sutures). If the lipoma is in an area of the body that cannot be easily reached through a simple incision in the skin, the lipoma may need to be removed in the operating room under general anesthesia.

  https://www.dermofficedallas.com/cosmetic/fat-lax-skin-treatments/lipodissolve/

  Patients who have localized benign fatty tumors, called lipomas, will find lipoma mesotherapy, as opposed to surgical excision, an excellent option for addressing this issue. Many times, surgical excision results in scarring, which can look worse than the original fatty lipoma. The lipoma may also return despite the surgical attempts to remove it in its entirety. For giant lipomas greater than 5 or 6 centimeters in diameter, surgery would be quite significant, with scarring to match. Thus, extremely large lipomas are great targets for lipoma mesotherapy. […] Typically, lipoma mesotherapy is useful only for injection into non-painful lipomas, which are the majority. If it is a painful lipoma, it is most likely an angiolipoma, and surgical excision is recommended for this type. […] This entirely depends on the size of the lipoma. Smaller lipomas measuring 1 or 2 centimeters may only require two to four injections. For giant lipomas, a patient may require several injections in order to achieve the degree of flattening desired. Treatment sessions depend on the patient’s wishes as well. If a patient is satisfied that the lipoma has been reduced significantly, injections can be stopped.

• #27 Injection Therapy for the Management of Superficial Subcutaneous Lipomas

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4086534/

  Superficial subcutaneous lipomas are common benign tumors of the subcutaneous adipose tissue. Removal of superficial subcutaneous lipomas is achieved with simple surgical excision for the purposes of improved cosmesis, removing painful lipomas, or for the removal of a lipoma affecting function through mass effect. As research in localized fat reduction has improved, therapies successful in this domain have been applied to the management of lipomas as a surgical alternative. […] Though surgical excision remains the primary therapy for the treatment of lipomas, newer nonsurgical alternatives have been increasingly studied to prevent some of the deformities and scarring common in surgical excision. The authors review scientific advancements in injection lipolysis as it pertains to superficial subcutaneous lipoma management.

  Prior to its experimental use in treating lipomas, PDC/DC preparations had been used for cosmetic reductions of local fat deposits. Due to the similar composition between these fatty tissues, injection therapy was experimentally applied to the management of lipomas. […] When injected into lipomas in vivo, PDC/DC causes fat necrosis. […] Injections have demonstrated size reductions ranging from 37 percent to complete resolution of the lipoma. […] Thus, long-term studies of recurrence are necessary to better determine the efficacy of these injections as a stand-alone therapy. […] While the use of PDC/DC appears to be a promising therapy to reduce total lipoma size, there are certain limitations. […] Additionally, as PDC/DC has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and many other international bodies as an active ingredient for any indication including lipolysis, there remains much uncertainty regarding long-term safety.

• #31 How to Remove Lipoma Naturally: Non-Surgical Remedies

  https://www.felixhospital.com/blogs/how-to-remove-lipoma-without-surgery

  Laser lipolysis is a non-surgical treatment that uses laser energy to target and break down fat cells within the lipoma. The laser heats the fatty tissue, causing it to liquefy, and the body naturally absorbs the fat over time. This procedure is minimally invasive and is typically performed under local anesthesia. […] Radiofrequency therapy uses heat generated by radio waves to target and destroy fatty tissue in the lipoma. The heat breaks down the fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This procedure is non-invasive and is often used as an alternative to surgery for removing small to medium-sized lipomas. […] Removing a lipoma without surgery is possible through various natural remedies and alternative treatments. While these methods may not provide instant results, they offer a holistic approach to managing lipomas and preventing their recurrence. By incorporating dietary changes, natural treatments like apple cider vinegar and turmeric, and exploring alternative therapies such as laser lipolysis or radiofrequency, individuals can take proactive steps toward reducing the size of their lipomas. However, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before attempting any treatment, especially if you experience discomfort or changes in the lipoma. With the right approach and consistent care, it is possible to manage lipomas effectively without the need for surgery.

[…] This novel approach to lipoma treatment is reliable, associated with minimal morbidity, and consistently yields effective results. […] Therefore, to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes, we propose a novel approach of percutaneous microwave ablation-assisted liposuction under ultrasound guidance for the treatment of certain head and neck lipomas.

  The management of lipomas has traditionally relied on surgical excision, which, despite its efficacy, possesses several limitations, including potential for scarring, pain, and a longer recovery period. In contrast, our novel technique—percutaneous microwave ablation combined with liposuction—offers a less invasive alternative, which aligns with the current trend toward minimally invasive procedures in surgical oncology and soft tissue management. […] Our technique presents a promising alternative to traditional surgical excision of lipomas, offering advantages in terms of invasiveness, recovery time, cosmetic outcomes, and patient satisfaction. […] To determine the optimal parameters for percutaneous microwave ablation combined with liposuction, large-scale controlled studies are still needed.

They are usually removed for cosmetic reasons if they grow very large or for histopathology to verify that they are not a more dangerous type of tumor such as a liposarcoma. Lipomas are normally removed by simple excision. The removal can often be done under local anesthetic and takes less than 30 minutes. This cures the great majority of cases, with about 12% of lipomas recurring after excision. Liposuction is another option if the lipoma is soft and has a small connective tissue component. New methods under development are supposed to remove the lipomas without scarring. One is removal by injecting compounds that trigger lipolysis, such as steroids or phosphatidylcholine. Other potential methods based on tissue-targeted heating include cauterization, electrosurgery, and harmonic scalpel.
