Multiple Lipoma Removal Treatment in Chennai|Painless & Precise Excision Surgery

A lipoma is a benign, slow-growing fatty lump that develops under the skin. Aesthetic Studio, Chennai, removes single and multiple lipomas through surgical excision under local anaesthesia performed by Dr. Bharathi Rajasridhar, MCh Plastic Surgery. Most procedures are done in under an hour as a day case. Recurrence after complete excision is rare.

What Are Multiple Lipomas?

Lipomas are soft, fatty, non-cancerous growths that develop under the skin. When multiple lipomas appear, they can cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. At Dr. Bharathi's Aesthetic Studio, we specialize in safe, minimal-scar removal of multiple lipomas in a single session, helping patients regain comfort and confidence.

Benefits of Multiple Lipoma Removal

You may benefit from lipoma excision if you:

Want a permanent solution
Experience pain or restricted movement
Are concerned about cosmetic appearance

Multiple Lipoma Treatment Options

We offer comprehensive solutions for multiple lipoma removal in Chennai, tailored to your specific needs:

Surgical Excision

The most effective method for complete removal of lipomas. Dr. Bharathi uses precise techniques to minimize scarring while ensuring complete removal of the fatty growths. Ideal for larger or symptomatic lipomas.

Procedure performed under local anesthesia with quick recovery (typically 3-7 days). We use advanced closure techniques to reduce visible scarring.

Liposuction Technique

For smaller multiple lipomas, we may recommend liposuction-assisted removal. This method uses small incisions to suction out the fatty tissue, resulting in minimal scarring.

Best for patients with numerous small lipomas in accessible areas. Recovery is typically faster than traditional excision.

Causes of Multiple Lipomas

While the exact cause isn't always clear, several factors contribute to multiple lipoma development:

Genetics: Family history increases likelihood
Dercum's Disease: Causes painful lipomas
Metabolic Factors: Obesity and metabolic disorders
Lipomatosis: Hereditary multiple lipoma condition

Our clinic provides thorough evaluation to understand your specific condition before recommending treatment.

When Lipoma Removal Is the Right Choice

Most lipomas are harmless and do not require removal. Dr. Bharathi recommends surgery when a lipoma is:

Growing in size
Causing pain or pressure
Located in a position that causes functional limitation or cosmetic concern
Uncertain diagnosis requiring histological confirmation

For patients with multiple lipomas, a staged plan is developed to address them systematically. The number of lipomas that can be removed in one session depends on their size, location, and distribution across the body.

Why Patients Choose Aesthetic Studio

Most patients who come to us have been thinking about this for a long time. They have done their research, looked at other clinics, and are arriving with specific questions, not general curiosity. What they are looking for is not a clinic that promises the most. It is a surgeon they can trust to tell them the truth.

Dr. Bharathi performs every consultation and every procedure herself. There are no junior doctors seeing patients on her behalf. No counsellors conducting consultations before you meet the surgeon. From your first appointment to your final follow-up, you are seen by the same person.

Over 19 years of surgical experience. MCh Plastic Surgery from Madras Medical College. Dr. Bharathi holds an MBBS, MS (General Surgery), and MCh (Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery) — the highest postgraduate qualification in plastic surgery in India. She trained at one of India's most established medical institutions.

One of Tamil Nadu's few female plastic surgeons performing the full range of breast and body surgery. Not a dermatologist offering cosmetic treatments. Not a general surgeon who does aesthetic work on the side. A board-qualified plastic surgeon whose primary clinical focus is breast surgery, body contouring, and aesthetic transformation.

4.9 stars on Google with over 400 verified patient reviews. Among the highest review scores for any plastic surgery clinic in Chennai. Reviews that specifically name procedures, describe recoveries, and mention outcomes — not generic five-star ratings.

Every surgical plan is built individually. No packages. Procedures are quoted after a personal consultation and clinical assessment. Two patients with the same goal do not receive the same plan because they do not have the same anatomy.

Complete privacy at every stage. Your appointment is not visible to other patients. Your records are confidential. Consultations are one-on-one with Dr. Bharathi. If you have specific privacy requirements — including your need for all-female surgical teams — mention them when you book and they will be accommodated without question.

Honest recovery information before you agree to anything. Dr. Bharathi gives every patient a specific recovery timeline for their procedure and their life before leaving the consultation. Not a generic instruction sheet. What you will need in week one, what changes at week six, and what the result looks like at six months versus one year.

Patients travel from across Tamil Nadu and other states for consultations — from Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Trichy, Salem, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. Not because there are no surgeons closer, but because patients researching this decision specifically seek out a female plastic surgeon with this depth of specialisation.

Aesthetic Studio is a plastic surgery clinic in Chennai where every patient is seen by the surgeon, every plan is built individually, and the goal of every procedure is a result that looks like the best version of you — not evidence of an operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is lipoma removal surgery safe?

Lipoma removal under local anaesthesia is a low-risk outpatient procedure. Risks include minor bleeding, infection, and small scars at each excision site. The risk of damage to underlying structures depends on lipoma location and size. Dr. Bharathi reviews each lipoma's location and depth before recommending the surgical approach.

Will lipomas grow back after removal?

Lipomas that are completely excised do not return in the same location. If the capsule is not completely removed, there is a small chance of recurrence. Patients with familial multiple lipomatosis, a genetic condition, may develop new lipomas elsewhere on the body over time, which are separate growths, not recurrences.

How many lipomas can be removed in one session?

The number depends on lipoma size, location, and distribution. Small superficial lipomas can often be removed in groups of five to ten in one session. Larger or deeper lipomas require individual planning. Dr. Bharathi assesses the full picture at consultation and recommends either a single session or a staged plan.

Does lipoma removal leave visible scars?

Each lipoma requires one incision, typically smaller than the lipoma itself when a minimally invasive approach is used. Scars are planned to align with natural skin lines and fade over six to twelve months. For lipomas on visible areas, Dr. Bharathi plans incision placement specifically to minimize cosmetic impact.

What is the difference between a lipoma and a cyst?

A lipoma is a benign fatty tumor under the skin that feels soft and moves easily when pressed. A cyst is a sac filled with fluid or keratin that may have a central punctum and can become inflamed or infected. Both are benign but require different surgical approaches. Dr. Bharathi examines the lump at consultation and may recommend an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis before surgery.
