What to do if you have a lipoma on your waist

The most effective treatment for lipomas on the waist is to opt for surgery to remove the lesion. Because lipoma is a common benign disease, especially in obese patients, it is very common. If the lesion is small, it can be removed under local anesthesia, while larger lesions or deeper lesions can be removed under epidural or intravenous anesthesia. In lipoma, the lesion is intact and the envelope is also intact, so care should be taken to peel off and remove the lesion and the envelope completely during the operation; if there are obvious residual cavities, drainage strips or drainage tubes can be left in place during the operation, and the nodes should be sutured after the operation. In the postoperative period, care should also be taken to prevent infection, and drainage strips are usually removed within 24 hours. Avoid strenuous activity during treatment to avoid bleeding from the residual cavity and affecting healing.
