Approach Taken by Lipoma Specialist - Dr. Vishal Patel
Lipoma specialist, Dr. Vishal Patel, took the approach of using puncture technique of Lipoma removal followed by lipoma excision for removing these six multiple lipomas from the patient.Â
The other technique available was the conventional excision but it requires a longer incision which varies depending on lipoma size and depth.Â
However, Dr. Vishal Patel chosen the puncture technique with the aim of removing lipomas using smaller skin opening and minimize visible scarring.Â
Dr. Vishal Patel also noted that the laser assisted technique wouldn’t have given good results, as these were the case of larger, deeper, complex, multiple lipomas, and the surgical incision will be the right choice for appropriate removal. Although, this case was slightly less complex than other cases of Lipoma on head & neck.
Dr. Vishal Patel also carefully inspected the characteristic and locations of individual fat lumps and agreed with the patient a plan to remove them one by one separately. All will happen in just 1 sitting.

Scar Care After Lipoma Removal with Hexilak Ultra Gel
Scar care is an important part of recovery after lipoma removal surgery. This is because your skin needs time to heal, and the appearance of scar can change over several days.Â
After the follow-up appointment 7 days after the surgery, the sutures have been removed, and Dr. Vishal Patel recommended Hexilac Ultra gel for scar management.Â
Once the incision has healed sufficiently, this scar care gel helps in improving texture and appearance of scar over time. This gel also helps make scar softer, smoother, and less noticeable.Â
It is important to apply the gel consistently as per doctor instruction, using the recommended amount and duration. At Recon Plastic Surgery & Physiotherapy Clinic, we focus not only on removing lipomas but also on the appearance of the treated area after surgery.Â
