Help for lipomas?
by lumpylady, Sep 28, 2009 02:16PM
What does the current research show as treatment for Lipomas? I have numerous lipomas on my arms, hips and legs, mostly small, but some as large as 2 - 3 inches in diameter. I have had about 25 removed from my arms, but about half of them returned. Does Mesotherapy hold any promise? How effective is liposuction - do the lipomas return? What is the lipomas are "angiolipomas", do those require surgery? Is there any thought to including treatment for lipomas as a meicaly coered treatment, rather than cosmetic? Thanks for you thoughts and answer.
