  • What is Lipoma?

    Lipomas are benign (non-cancerous) tumors that are made up of fat cells. These fatty lumps are located just below the skin and are usually soft, movable, and painless. A lipoma can occur anywhere on the body where fat cells are present, but they are most commonly found on the neck, shoulders, back, arms, and thighs.

    When to Consult a Doctor for Lipoma?

    It is advised to see a doctor for lipoma if the following symptoms are present-

    • The lump is located on a body part where it is clearly visible, thereby causing aesthetic concerns.
    • The lump is mostly painless, but as the size increases, it starts hurting.
    • The lump moves with a touch and has a rubbery texture.
    • The lump is larger than 2 inches.

    As the lump continues to grow, it can start compressing the blood vessels and become painful. To prevent this from happening, it is advised to get proper lipoma treatment in the earlier growth phase.

    Now the question arises how you can find and choose the best lipoma surgeon. Don’t worry, we are here to help you choose a qualified, skilled, vetted, and understanding plastic or cosmetic surgeon for lipoma treatment.

    Tips to Choose the Best Doctor for Lipoma Treatment

    To find and choose a good and reliable plastic or cosmetic surgeon, you should follow the tips below-

    1: Get Referrals

    Start by asking for referrals from your primary care provider. Consider asking your family, friends, or other healthcare providers for a reference. Make a list of the doctors recommended to you and call the doctor’s office to find out if he/she is available for consultation.

    2: Research the Doctor’s Credentials

    The educational qualifications, training, and certifications of the doctor are very important. This information will tell you that the doctor has the necessary skills and experience to provide optimal treatment for lipomas.

    Along with this, ensure that the surgeon has a valid practice license and doesn’t have a history of malpractice claims or disciplinary actions. You can find this information in the Indian Medical Register and check the doctor’s license and registration number.

    3: Plastic/Cosmetic Surgeon’s Experience

    Generally, plastic and cosmetic surgeons are well-trained to remove lipomas. But the overall experience matters a lot. The more experience the surgeon has in treating lipomas, the better his/her skills will likely be. Through years of practice, the surgeon also gains ample knowledge and expertise to identify and mitigate the risks and complications associated with the treatment procedure.

    Do not forget to ask the doctor about the number of lipoma surgeries he/she has performed. Also, ask him/her about the success rate of the surgeries performed.

    4: Research Hospital Quality

    The surgeon’s hospital/clinic is the center where the surgery will be performed. So, make sure that you research the hospital/clinic. The quality of care at a reputed hospital is generally good, and they maintain a high standard of medical care. Ensure that the surgeon is affiliated with such a hospital or clinic, which is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, modern amenities, and USFDA-approved diagnostic and surgical technologies.

    5: Evaluate the Doctor’s Communication Skills

    While choosing a doctor, see how well he/she communicates with you and conveys information about the treatment. A trustworthy and reliable surgeon always pays attention to the patient’s concerns and ensures their queries are resolved.

    It will be best if you prepare a list of questions you should ask the doctor. Analyze how the doctor responds to your questions, and the responses will tell you a lot about how passionate and empathetic the surgeon is.

    6: Check Patient Reviews & Testimonials

    The next point you should consider while choosing a doctor for lipoma is the doctor’s reviews. Reading the reviews and testimonials given by previous patients will help you determine the quality of care the doctor provides. The reviews basically reflect the patient’s experience with appointment booking, consultations, waiting time, hospital/clinic environment, and the staff’s behavior.

    You should be slightly skeptical about the information you come across about the lipoma doctor. This will help you to make an informed decision.

    Questions to Ask Your Lipoma Doctor

    Some key things that you should ask the doctor while seeking lipoma treatment include the following-

    • Is surgery the only way to treat lipomas?
    • What are the different treatment options for lipomas?
    • How will the surgery be performed?
    • What are the risks and complications associated with the procedure? How will you mitigate them?
    • What can I do to improve the outcome of the treatment?
    • How long does lipoma removal surgery take?
    • How long is the recovery after the lipoma removal?
    • What are the chances of recurrence?

    Learn as much as possible about the treatment procedure through online research and ask the doctor about your doubts and concerns. This will help you gain clarity about the treatment procedure and whether the doctor is being honest about the treatment or only focusing on his/her personal benefit.
