Do you treat lipoma? I want to know what treatment options are available. Is surgery necessary? Why does lipoma occur? Also, are there hospitals in Mumbai, specifically in Bandra, Malad, or Andheri? What would be the consultation and treatment charges, and how do I proceed with the appointment?

Yes, we do treat lipoma. Currently, there is no medical or non surgical solution for removing a lipoma, and the recommended treatment is a minor surgical procedure. This procedure is typically functional and minimally invasive, lasting about 1 to 1.5 hours.
It is done under local anesthesia, where the area is numbed, and a small incision is made often so thin that it blends with hair if the lipoma is on the scalp. The lump is then completely removed from the root, ensuring minimal chance of recurrence.
Lipomas do not have a specific cause in most cases. Sometimes they may appear due to weight or genetic factors, but in general, there is no single reason for their formation.
In Mumbai, we have multiple hospitals for this treatment, including Malad, Andheri, and Bandra. Experienced surgeons, some with over 25 years of experience, perform these procedures.
Regarding charges, they depend on the size and location of your lipoma. You can either have an online consultation or visit the hospital for an in-person consultation, where the doctor will examine the lipoma and provide an accurate estimate for treatment.
