Lipoma
Lipomas are benign, soft, movable lumps composed of fatty tissue that develop just beneath the skin. While they are typically painless and harmless, they can cause discomfort or self-consciousness, especially if they grow large or are located in visible areas. At Aaroku Care, we offer advanced lipoma treatment options, including minimally invasive surgical procedures, to safely and effectively remove these growths, ensuring minimal scarring and quick recovery.

A lipoma is a slow-growing, rubbery lump formed by an overgrowth of fat cells within a thin, fibrous capsule just under the skin. They are the most common type of soft tissue tumor and can occur anywhere on the body, though they are most frequently found on the shoulders, upper arms, or thighs. Lipomas are generally painless, but if they press against nerves or blood vessels, they can cause pain or tenderness. The exact cause of lipomas is not well understood, but they may run in families, suggesting a genetic component.
At Aaroku Care, lipomas are primarily treated through surgical excision, which involves removing the entire lump along with its capsule to minimize the chance of recurrence. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes about 1 to 2 hours. In certain cases, liposuction may be used to remove the fatty tissue, especially if the lipoma is large or in a location where traditional surgery might leave noticeable scarring. Post-operative care includes keeping the surgical site clean, applying prescribed medications, and attending follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
