Lipomas or Fat deposits under the Skin can happen due to abnormal Fat accumulation. Reason for such fat deposits can be genetic or high fat in blood. These Lipomas can be easily dissolved with Lipolysis Injections. The affected area is skin is marked and a very thin needle is used to inject small drops of Lipolysis solution. It takes 2-3 weeks for Fat to dissolve. Multiple sessions may be needed to remove depending on size of Lipomas.
Next Steps
Consult a Qualified Dermatologist for proper evaluation of Lipomas and also blood tests needed to check for excess cholesterol or lipids in blood.
