Lipoma:

A lipoma is a fat-based, soft, and slowly expanding lump under the skin that can develop anywhere on the body. It usually develops in middle-aged adults with a typical size of less than 5 centimeters, but it can grow larger. It is crucial to get your lipomas checked because they can cause discomfort if they collapse with blood vessels. 

Symptoms of Lipoma:

• Smooth and pliable to the touch.
• Grows slightly over time.
• Lump not attached to the skin. 

Causes:

• Generic and hereditary factors
• Obesity. 
• Hormonal fluctuations
• Lack of physical exercise. 
• Diabeties.

Lipoma Treatment in Dubai:

There are various types of lipomas, and some of them grow rapidly and can even cause pain. Also, if lipomas appear on visible body parts, removing them is crucial. At Dynamic Aesthetic Clinic, we offer a range of surgical and nonsurgical lipoma treatments tailored to the size and type of your lipoma. 

Treatment Types:

Lipoma Removal Surgery:

Surgery is the most common and effective treatment option for lipoma. An incision is made over the lipoma, which carefully excises it from the surrounding tissues and completely removes it with its capsule. 

Liposuction:

This is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a syringe attached to a suction device. The syringe reaches out to the lipoma tissue, and the suction device carefully extracts it. It is also best for larger lipomas. 

Steroid Injection:

This injection contains corticosteroids that shrink the lipoma, causing local fat atrophy. These injections do not completely remove the lipoma, but reduce its appearance for cosmetic concerns. 

Cost:

Lipoma removal treatment price depends on the specific treatment. For surgical excision, the cost starts from 3500 AED for a smaller area. Cost details are presented below:
