Swellings that appear on the body are sometimes are terrifying. 

They are more likely to be lipoma tumors but no need to worry. 

Lipoma is a tumor under the skin. It results from overgrowth of fat cells. These are generally considered benign tumors. Where do they occur? Lipoma can develop in any part of the body. This means that lipomas can occur anywhere on the part of the fat cells. 

Usually the arms, forearms, abdomen, chest, thighs,& forehead. Lipomas are soft. Pressing on them can move a little under the skin. Usually, they grow slowly over months or years. They reach about two to three centimeters in size. Sometimes they are more than ten centimeters. 

Lipomas are usually painless. They can be removed if they are too big in size. Other lipomas also can be removed if they are painful or overtly visible. 

All the lipomas can also be removed, if the person desires. If less than twenty lipomas are to be removed, they can be anesthetized with local anesthesia through a small cut, they can be thoroughly liquefied & squeezed out. 

Scars will be hardly visible. One can go home after the treatment is over and start your routine daily activities. If more than twenty lipomas are to be removed, better to be done under general anesthesia by liposuction procedure. 

Through a small hole, the cannula is moved up to the lipomas & they are removed as tiny pieces. One can return home the same day after the treatment. The holes will heal in about five days. The procedure does not pain much. 

All age group people can undergo this treatment. In both local & general anesthesia, no stitching of the cuts is involved as they are very small and heal rapidly.
