When the removal of fat wigs by a laser is prescribed( lipomas) - the price and reviews of the procedure

appearance on the skin of any, even the most innocuous lesions, often perceived as a cosmetic defect and becomes a cause of constant discomfort. Is not an exception and such, at first glance, an innocuous tumor, like a lipoma or in a different way a wen.

What is wen?

Wen - a benign tumor consisting of adipose tissues and localizes in subcutaneous tissue or viscera. Representatives of both sexes are not insured from the appearance of the zhirovik, but more often this problem occurs in women over 30 years of age. Lipoma in the form of mobile, painless subcutaneous tubercles can form in any part of the body where there is a fatty layer. Most often, a favorite place for neoplasms is the head, face and limbs.

The size of the wen is usually 1 to 5 cm in diameter, but sometimes the tumor can reach considerable dimensions( more than 10 cm).Large zhiroviki are able to squeeze nerve endings and surrounding tissues, causing the development of pain syndrome. The emergence of the oil lamp on the face or exposed parts of the body brings significant discomfort the fair sex, and are often the cause of psychological problems and low self-esteem.

Women believe that such neoplasms are a serious aesthetic problem and tend to get rid of the tumor in any radical way. Doctors note that talc does not pose a serious threat to health, but still, definitely recommend getting rid of tumors, since they have a tendency to sprawl, and in rare cases can degenerate into a malignant tumor.

Types of lipid

Lipomas can be different and differ from each other in shape, structure and location of localization. The main varieties of fatty acids are as follows:

• Ring-like( subcutaneous tumor located around the neck)
• Painful( multiple adolescents causing painful syndrome)
• Fibrous( connective tissue-thickening lipoma)
• Capsulated( develops as a result of proliferation of adipose tissue inside the body capsule)
• Soft( lipomaconsisting primarily of adipose tissue)
• fibrous( having an elastic texture, caused high connective tissue)
• Lipoma on the leg( Otleyaetsya large size and lengthy development period)

Methods removing wen

Today the most popular method is gentle and removing wen laser. In addition, it is possible to remove the lipomas surgically with a scalpel or radio wave method using a radio wave knife. Another method of intervention is the puncture-aspirator method, in which the contents of the fat capsule are pumped out through special syringes.

Laser treatment is used for excision with a lump size of 3 cm. The procedure requires the surgeon to have jewelry possession of surgical instruments and carefully observe the procedure for performing an operation. The fact is that fatty acids often lie in deep layers of subcutaneous tissue, and for the intervention to be successful, it is required to correctly calculate the strength and depth of penetration of the laser beam. To remove lime, carbon dioxide laser installations are usually used.

Indications for the removal of adipocytes by laser

Any patient with a lipoma should know the main features of lindenum development:

• Weners never disappear on their own and expect that the problem will resolve itself is not worth it. It is better to remove the education on time.
• Over time, the lipoma will increase in size, grow and squeeze the surrounding tissues and nerve fibers, causing pain. In addition, large lipomas in the open areas of the body will deliver aesthetic discomfort.
• It is better to remove the wenrock in time, until the tumor has reached a large size. In this case, there will be virtually no visible traces on the skin. But the removal of the overgrown tumor will leave a noticeable scar.
• We should not discount the risk of transformation of a wen in a malignant formation - a liposarcoma. And although the probability of degeneration is extremely small, in some cases, if there is a hereditary predisposition and unfavorable influence of external factors, such a variant of pathology development is quite possible.

So, taking into account the above factors, the operation to remove the wen became inevitable. Patients should be aware of the specific features of lyme development as an indisputable indication of surgical intervention.

• Progressive enlargement of the lipoma causes painful sensations due to the squeezing of the internal organs and nerve endings.
• There is a permanent trauma to the wen with clothing.
• The subcutaneous defect in the exposed areas of the body looks unaesthetic.
• Neoplasm, located on the neck, causes attacks of suffocation.
• Lipoma infection occurs.
• When the lipoma grows "on the leg," a violation is noted. Blood circulation, which threatens the necrosis of tissues.
• There is a risk of degeneration of a wen in a malignant tumor.

Doctors warn that the removal of the wen may not always be possible and there are a number of contraindications to the operation.

Contraindications to operation

Like any surgical procedure, laser surgery has a number of contraindications. Laser surgery is not done for patients with diabetes mellitus, HIV-infected, oncological patients.

The laser can not be used for inflammatory or herpetic changes in the skin. Lipomas do not remove women during menstruation and during pregnancy.

Advantages and disadvantages of laser surgery

To get rid of the wen, you need to completely remove the capsule and its contents, leaving no pathologically altered fat cells, otherwise the probability of repeated relapse with a much more aggressive course is high. The most advanced and low-traumatic method, which allows to achieve success, is the use of laser technology.

Advantages of :

• The high accuracy of the laser beam effect does not affect healthy tissues, whereas the fat tumor is fully recovered, together with the capsule.
• Carbon dioxide laser during surgery not only removes fatty tumor, but also cauterizes small blood vessels and disinfects the operating field. This contributes to an early postoperative recovery and significantly reduces the risk of complications.
• The operation does not take much time, the procedure is bloodless and painless. This is a non-contact method, excluding the possibility of infection of the wound by pathogenic microorganisms.
• Azure beam allows you to effectively remove fat from open body parts( face, head, neck) without leaving visible post-operative scars.
• During the operation, the tumor does not collapse, which allows it to be sent for histological examination after extraction.
• The use of the laser reduces the likelihood of recurrence of the lipoma.
• Application of the laser method eliminates postoperative edema and suppuration, promotes rapid tissue healing.
• A short rehabilitation period allows the patient to immediately return to normal life. Complete recovery after intervention takes less than two weeks.

Disadvantages of :

• With a large size of the wen or deep tissue placement, the laser can not effectively cope with the problem and completely remove the tumor. In such cases, you can get rid of the lipoma only with the help of a surgical operation.
• Some experts do not rule out that after the removal of the fat cells by a laser, it is quite possible that relapses occur if errors were made during the operation.
• The laser method is quite expensive and not every patient can afford to remove the wen in this way.

How is the removal of fatty glands by

laser? A surgeon-oncologist, or a plastic surgeon specializing in the removal of tumors, can perform an operation to excise the fatty glands by laser method, in addition to a general surgeon.

Before the procedure, the patient should take the necessary tests and undergo preliminary training. If the lipoma is located on the scalp, the operating site is shaved. Then, local anesthesia with lidocaine is made, during which the anesthetic is cut off the base of the wen. The procedure for removing the lipoma lasts from 20 to 40 minutes, the duration of it depends on the location and size of the tumor.

The laser beam dissects the surface of the skin over the wen, and gently dilates the cut edges for better access. At the same time, the surgical laser simultaneously with the excision of tissues seals( coagulates) the blood vessels, preventing bleeding. The carbon dioxide plant, together with coagulation, disinfects the operating field, which prevents the possibility of infection of the wound and excludes the development of postoperative complications.

Through the incision, the surgeon clamps the capsule of the wen and pulls it upwards. The laser beam removes the lipoma from the surrounding tissues and cleans the bed of the remnants of the envelope. If the tumor is small, the wound does not even need to be sutured, it is enough to cover it with a sterile dressing and after a few days the tissues will heal. In all other cases, a cosmetic suture is applied to the wound surface, after which the surgical site is closed with a gauze bandage.

The main feature of laser surgery is the absence of pain and blood, the recovery period is easy, the tissues heal quickly, the postoperative scars are absent. As a rule, after the operation is completed, the patient immediately returns to normal life, except for especially difficult cases, when it may take several days of bed rest. Follow-up monitoring of the patient is performed on an outpatient basis.

The procedure does not require hospitalization, the postoperative period is without complications. The use of the laser excludes the development of the inflammatory process, prevents the development of edema and infection of the wound surface. After the intervention, scars and scarring do not remain or they are not noticeable. In rare cases, a relapse of the lipoma occurs, most often this occurs with incomplete removal of the tumor due to the unprofessionalism of the surgeon. Therefore, the intervention should be trusted only by an experienced specialist and choose a clinic with a good reputation.

After removal of the wen, the patient is recommended to send the tumor to a histological examination, this will eliminate the presence of a malignant process.

Price

The cost of the laser lipoma removal procedure will depend on the surgeon's skill, location and the size of the benign tumor. Surgeons distinguish three degrees of complexity of neoplasm surgery, depending on which, and determine the average price of the operation.

• 1 category( removal of small fat widows in anatomically simple areas) - from 2000 to 7000 rubles.
• 2 category( removal of a medium-sized tumor in anatomically complex areas) from 3000 to 10,000 rubles.
• 3 category( removal of large limes in anatomically difficult areas) - from 7000 to 15 000 rubles.

If there are lesions under the skin, do not delay contacting a doctor. This will help to eliminate the risk of developing malignant tumors and will allow for proper diagnosis for the subsequent choice of a method of treatment.

Reviews about removal of lipoma by laser

Review No.1

I had a lipoma for several years, it was located on my head. Nothing bothered, just a soft bump under the skin. But then the tumor grew and became too noticeable. Complexes appeared, it began to seem that everyone was paying attention to my problem. I decided to show myself to the doctor who directed me to the surgeon.

With him we discussed possible ways to remove the wen and stopped on the laser. Before the procedure I passed the necessary tests and on the appointed day I went to the clinic. The hair around my head was shaved off, and later I had to lose my head and wait until the hair grows back. This is the only negative.

The area around the zhirovik was stabbed with painkillers and I did not feel anything. The procedure lasted 20 minutes. After that, wounded with a plaster bandage, a bandage was applied, and I went home. I did not feel any discomfort, wound quickly healed, went to the doctor several times for examination. Complications were not, now the problem has long forgotten.

Review No.2

I had a fatty on my hand. A small such, a movable tubercle under the skin. He did not bother me, but was noticeable, especially in the summer when he wore open sleeveless dresses. Has addressed for consultation and to me recommended to remove a lipoma a laser. This is the most progressive and advanced method, however, quite expensive.

But I can afford this procedure. Other methods seemed less reliable, especially not wanting surgical operation, rough incisions and stitches. The procedure met expectations, there was no pain, complications did not arise. After the operation, there were no traces left on the skin, there were no scars or scars. In general, the result is satisfied.
