Question 1

Can such a small incision really remove the lipoma completely? Will it recur?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can. Dr. Liu uses a special dissection technique to completely remove the lipoma along with its capsule through a small incision. As long as the capsule is completely removed, recurrence rate is extremely low (less than 1%). In our 15-year clinical follow-up, cases with complete capsule removal have shown no recurrence.

Question 2

Can surgery be performed if the cyst is inflamed and swollen?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Liu recommends case-by-case evaluation. Mild inflammation can be handled with special techniques. For severe inflammation with pus, we usually recommend drainage or medication control first, then micro-excision after swelling subsides for better aesthetic results.

Question 3

Is the surgery really painless?

Accepted Answer

Not completely painless, but pain is substantially reduced. We use a special tumescent anesthesia technique together with gentle pain relief. Only the first injection of local anesthesia causes a mild prick (like a regular injection), after which most patients feel only the vibration of the doctor operating and finish comfortably; non-general anesthesia, real-time communication, varies by individual.

Question 4

Can compensatory sweating really be improved? I'm afraid of being disappointed again.

Accepted Answer

In most cases it can be noticeably improved. Non-invasive thermolysis directly destroys sweat glands. Based on clinical experience, a single treatment usually reduces sweating substantially, helping patients regain a drier life (outcomes vary by individual).

Question 5

Why doesn't the dissolver work after multiple injections?

Accepted Answer

The filler has likely formed a hard "capsule." Your body's fibrous tissue has tightly wrapped around the filler like a wall blocking the dissolver. In this situation, medication cannot penetrate, and the only solution is precise surgical removal of the encapsulated tissue.

Question 6

My lumps have been there for years (even calcified). Can they still be removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The longer lumps remain, the harder and more calcified they become. Traditional liposuction indeed cannot handle them, but our "micro-pinhole crushing" technique can break down and extract calcified tissue. We've treated many cases of lumps 5 or even 10+ years old.

Question 7

Can severe acne scars be completely eliminated?

Accepted Answer

"Improvement" is more accurate than "elimination." Once scar tissue forms, it's permanent, but through subcision and regenerative treatment, we can fill depressions and soften edges. For deep ice pick or rolling scars, we typically achieve 70-90% visual improvement, so makeup doesn't cake, and scars aren't noticeable at social distances.

Question 8

Do the threads stay inside? Are there any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the threads remain inside. We use PDO (Polydioxanone) threads, the same material as surgical sutures, which are completely absorbed by the body in 6-8 months. During absorption, collagen production occurs around the threads—this is what provides long-term support. Since they're absorbable materials without long-term foreign body retention, side effect risks are extremely low.
