A word from Dr. Naresh

Many people live with a lump for years, quietly worrying about what it might be. Most lumps turn out to be harmless, and a short examination often settles the question on the same day.

If removal is the right choice, it's usually a short procedure under local anaesthesia, and you go home the same day. Every removed lump is sent for testing, for peace of mind.

The complete guide: everything you need to know

Everything you need to know about lipoma removal, in one place.

1Are you an ideal candidate for lipoma removal?

Suitability is decided at an in-person examination, with a review of your history and reports.

You may benefit if

  • A soft, doughy lump that slips under your fingers
  • Painless and slow-growing over months or years
  • Often on the back, shoulders, arms, neck or thighs
  • Sometimes several lipomas

When to wait or plan carefully

  • An infected cyst or abscess, which is usually settled first
  • Blood thinners that need a plan before the procedure
  • A small, clearly harmless lump that isn't bothering you
2Step-by-step: how it is done
  1. 1

    Examination

    The doctor checks the lump or wound; an ultrasound is arranged if it's deep.

  2. 2

    Numbing

    Most small procedures use local anaesthesia, so you can usually eat normally beforehand.

  3. 3

    The procedure

    Typically 20 to 45 minutes.

  4. 4

    Going home

    The same day, with dressing instructions and a date for review.

3Day-by-day recovery timeline and what to expect
TimelineWhat you'll feelActivity allowedCare

Typical timelines. Dr. Naresh will give you one for your own procedure, health and job.

4Lipoma removal cost in Vijayawada: honest, itemised pricing

What affects the cost

  • Hospital and room. Day-care, general ward or private room changes the total.
  • Tests and scans. Blood tests, ultrasound or CT, only if they're needed and not already done.

6Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can a lipoma turn into cancer?

Lipomas don't turn into cancer. Very rarely, a fatty lump is a different tumour called a liposarcoma, usually deep, large or fast-growing. That's why large or deep lumps get an ultrasound or MRI first.

Can medicine or injections dissolve it?

No medicine reliably dissolves a lipoma. Surgical removal is the definitive treatment.

Will it come back?

When it's fully removed with its capsule, recurrence is uncommon. People who tend to form lipomas may develop new ones elsewhere.

How big will the scar be?

The cut is usually smaller than the lump and placed along skin lines. Scars fade over months.

Is the lump tested after removal?

Yes, it's sent to the laboratory to confirm it's a lipoma.

Can several lipomas be removed at once?

Often, yes, depending on their number and position.

When can I bathe?

Usually after 48 hours, keeping the wound dry, or sooner with a waterproof dressing.

What is the cost of lipoma removal in Vijayawada?

The cost depends on the treatment you need, the hospital and room type, any tests, and the anaesthesia used. Dr. Naresh Veeranki gives a clear, itemised estimate after examination, before anything is booked, and most health insurance policies cover lipoma removal. Call or WhatsApp +91 83338 26666 for an estimate.
