The appearance of one or more soft mobile subcutaneous nodes is usually associated with the formation of benign tumors of adipose tissue (lipomas). Constantly growing wen cause discomfort. Subcutaneous nodes are more common, moreover, in men localization on the face predominates, and in women - on the body. Perhaps the occurrence of lipomas in organs (mammary gland, myocardium, lungs, etc.), in bones and joints. Lipomas are prone to constant growth, which does not stop even with a general depletion of the body. With an increase in old subcutaneous formations, their base is elongated with the formation of “lipomas on the leg”, the peculiarity of which is the development of blood stasis and tissue necrosis. Therefore, they are strongly recommended to be removed even in the early stages of the process.
Fat wipers are usually painless and only in rare cases with a significant increase compress the nearby nerve endings and cause pain. The only complete treatment for this disease is the removal of lipomas.
If previously all wen was removed only surgically and under general anesthesia, nowadays lipoma removal is similarly used in exceptional cases, for example, with large wen, which disrupt the vital functions of other organs, or to eliminate a cosmetic defect. In some cases, it is necessary to remove small tumors using the usual surgical method under local anesthesia.
When a wen is small and located on an open area of the body, new bloodless methods are used for the best cosmetic effect. They guarantee a quick and almost painless removal of lipomas with healing without the formation of a postoperative scar. Thanks to these methods, a person can immediately after the operation return to their normal lifestyle.
Modern methods include the removal of wen using:
- laser (laser removal of lipomas);
- radio knife (radio wave method);
- puncture aspiration method.
With the help of a laser and a radio knife, both the lipoma itself and its capsule are removed, which prevents the possibility of re-formation of the tumor. The advantages of using these methods are the speed of the procedure (on average 15 minutes), the use of local anesthesia, the absence of postoperative complications (edema, wound infection, etc.), as well as the quick rehabilitation of patients without scarring or other cosmetic defects.
The use of the puncture-aspiration method for removing lipomas is based on the use of a microendoscope and a microprobe for aspiration. The procedure lasts about 15 minutes, under local anesthesia and with visual monitoring using a monitor. The disadvantage of this method is the inability to remove fibrolip.
Wherever a lipoma is located (on the arm, neck, trunk, wen on the head), treatment is performed in all cases by removing it. Folk remedies will not help here. Incomplete removal of lipomas is accompanied by repeated growth of the tumor.
