이렇게 작은 절개로 정말 지방종을 완전히 제거할 수 있습니까? 재발하지 않습니까?

네, 가능합니다. 류다루 의사는 특수 박리 기술을 사용하여 작은 절개를 통해 지방종을 「피막」과 함께 완전히 적출합니다. 피막이 완전히 제거되면 재발률은 극히 낮습니다(1% 미만). 15년간의 임상 추적에서 피막 완전 절제 사례의 재발 기록은 없습니다.

10cm 이상의 거대 지방종도 정말 국소마취만으로 가능합니까?

네. 당원에서는 특수한 「팽윤마취법」(Tumescent Anesthesia)을 채택하고 있어 10cm 이상의 거대 지방종도 국소마취 하에 안전하게 수술을 완료할 수 있습니다. 환자분은 수술 중 의식이 유지되며, 전신마취의 위험과 회복 기간을 피할 수 있습니다. 수술 시간은 약 15~30분입니다.

최소절개 수술 비용은 얼마나 됩니까? 보험이 적용됩니까?

기존 수술은 건강보험이 적용될 수 있으나, 최소절개 수술은 비급여 항목(기술료 및 특수 재료비 포함)입니다. 비용은 종양의 크기, 위치, 개수, 난이도에 따라 다르므로, 정확한 견적을 위해 직접 내원하여 상담받으시기를 권장합니다.

수술 후 언제부터 샤워나 운동이 가능합니까?

보통 7~10일 후에 발사(실밥 제거)합니다. 수술 후 처음 3일간은 상처를 완전히 건조한 상태로 유지하시고, 이후에는 방수 테이프를 붙이고 샤워가 가능합니다. 격렬한 운동은 발사 후 상처 치유 상태를 확인한 뒤 단계적으로 재개하십시오. 보통 2주 후 일상 활동에 복귀할 수 있습니다.

여러 개의 지방종을 한 번의 수술로 제거할 수 있습니까?

네, 가능합니다. 여러 개의 지방종이 인접한 부위에 있는 경우 동일 수술에서 일괄 처리하여 환자분의 시간과 회복 기간을 절약할 수 있습니다. 수술 전 완전한 평가를 시행하여 최적의 절제 순서와 계획을 수립합니다.

거대 지방종(10cm 이상)은 특별한 처치가 필요합니까?

거대 지방종은 리우스메드 클리닉의 전문 분야입니다. 당원의 <20% 극한 최소절개 기술로 10cm 종양도 단 2cm 절개로 완전히 적출할 수 있습니다. 수술 전 초음파 검사로 종양의 크기, 깊이, 주변 조직과의 관계를 정확히 파악하여 안전하고 완전한 절제를 보장합니다.

What is Lipoma?

Lipoma is a benign soft tissue tumor composed of mature fat cells, the most common soft tissue tumor in adults. It feels soft, movable, and usually painless.

지방종은 피하 조직에 위치하며, 성숙 지방 세포로 구성되고 완전한 피막으로 둘러싸여 있습니다

Causes & Risk Factors

The exact cause of lipoma is unclear but is related to genetics, trauma, and metabolic abnormalities. Common in adults aged 40-60, slightly more in males. Higher risk with family history. Usually found in subcutaneous tissue of trunk, limbs, and neck.

Lipoma vs Cyst: Key Differences

Lipoma is located in deep subcutaneous layer, feels soft and movable, with no opening. Epidermal cyst (sebaceous cyst) is in superficial skin layer, often has a central black dot opening, and may have odorous discharge when squeezed. Different treatments are required.

When to Remove?

Tumor continues to grow, affecting appearance or daily activities
Compressing surrounding nerves or blood vessels, causing pain or numbness
Located in visible areas (neck, forehead, arms) affecting aesthetics
Suspected malignancy requiring pathological examination
Multiple lipomas affecting quality of life

This means a giant 10cm lipoma can be completely removed through just a 2cm micro-incision. Procedure takes about 15-30 minutes, same-day discharge.

Importance of Complete Capsule Removal

Lipoma recurrence is mainly caused by incomplete capsule removal. Dr. Liu insists on "Clean First" philosophy, using special dissection techniques to ensure complete capsule removal, keeping recurrence rate below 1%. This is our quantifiable promise to every patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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.

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

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.

How much does the minimally invasive surgery cost? Is it covered by insurance?

Traditional surgery may be covered by health insurance, but minimally invasive surgery is a self-pay procedure (including technical fees and special materials). Cost varies based on tumor size, location, number, and complexity. We recommend an in-person consultation for accurate pricing.

How soon after surgery can I shower or exercise?

Sutures are typically removed in 7-10 days. Keep the wound absolutely dry for the first 3 days, then you can shower with waterproof dressing. For strenuous exercise, wait until after suture removal and recovery assessment. Normal activities can usually resume after 2 weeks.

Can multiple lipomas be removed in one surgery?

Yes. If multiple lipomas are located in nearby areas, we can remove them all in a single surgery, saving time and recovery period. A complete pre-operative assessment will determine the optimal removal sequence and plan.

Do giant lipomas (over 10cm) require special treatment?

Giant lipomas are our specialty at Liusmed Clinic. Our <20% ultra-minimal incision technique allows complete removal of 10cm tumors through just 2cm incisions. Pre-operative ultrasound precisely locates tumor size, depth, and relationship with surrounding tissues to ensure safe and complete removal.
