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

For giant lipomas over 10cm, is local anesthesia really sufficient?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use a special "Tumescent Anesthesia" technique. Even for giant lipomas over 10cm, surgery can be safely completed under local anesthesia. Patients remain fully conscious, avoiding the risks and recovery time associated with general anesthesia. The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes.

Question 3

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 4

Is the surgery really painless?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's virtually painless. We use a special tumescent anesthesia technique. Only the first injection of local anesthesia causes mild discomfort (like a regular injection), after which there's no pain during surgery - you'll only feel the vibration of the doctor operating.

Question 5

Will I experience compensatory sweating after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Compensatory sweating (like hand sweat transferring to the back) only occurs with sympathetic nerve cutting. Our micro-surgery only targets the apocrine glands under the skin, without touching the nervous system, so it won't affect temperature regulation or cause compensatory sweating.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Yes. Non-invasive thermolysis directly destroys sweat glands. Based on clinical experience, a single treatment can reduce sweating by 80-90%, helping patients regain dry life.

Question 7

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 8

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.
