Liposuction-Assisted Lipoma Removal
Liposuction technique used to remove larger or multiple lipomas through tiny skin punctures — minimal scarring, especially useful for soft, lobulated lipomas in cosmetically important areas.
What is Liposuction-Assisted Lipoma Removal?
Liposuction-Assisted Lipoma Removal uses a small cannula to suction out the fatty tissue of soft lipomas through 2–3 mm skin punctures. It is particularly useful for larger or multiple lipomas in cosmetically sensitive areas, where avoiding long scars is a priority. While more meticulous capsule removal may sometimes be needed for complete clearance, this technique offers significantly better cosmetic outcome for select patients. Dr. Tejasree Vengala performs liposuction-assisted lipoma removal at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, choosing the technique carefully based on lipoma size, location and feel.
How the Procedure Works
Local Anaesthesia & Tumescent Infiltration
Local anaesthesia is given, and a tumescent solution is infiltrated to soften the lipoma and reduce bruising.
Tiny Skin Punctures
Two or three 2–3 mm skin punctures are made strategically around the lipoma.
Cannula Insertion
A fine liposuction cannula is gently introduced through the punctures into the lipoma.
Fat Aspiration
The fatty tissue of the lipoma is gently suctioned out, breaking it down within its natural capsule.
Compression & Discharge
A compression dressing is applied to support healing. Patients are discharged the same day with minimal restrictions.

Liposuction-assisted removal is wonderfully patient-friendly for the right kind of lipoma — soft, fatty, and in a place where a long scar would be unwelcome. It will not suit every lipoma, but when it is the right choice, the cosmetic result is hard to beat.
