[[Surgery]] of lipoma includes simple [[excision]], [[liposuction]], and [[deoxycholate]] [[injection]].
Often, treatment of a lipoma is not necessary, unless the tumor becomes painful or restricts movement. Many people have them removed for cosmetic reasons. However, if the lipoma is not completely removed during the surgery, it may grow back.

Lipomas are normally removed by simple excision. However, [[liposuction]] is another option if the lipoma is soft and has a small [[connective tissue]] component.  Liposuction often results in less [[Scar|scarring]], however it has a greater tendency to fail to remove the entire lipoma, often resulting in re-growth.
**[[Cosmetic]] problem
 
**Concerns over the [[diagnosis]]
There are new methods being developed that are supposed to remove the lipomas without scarring. One of them is removal by the use of injection of various substances. Another method being developed is the use of [[ultrasound]] waves to destroy the lipoma. This can be compared with the removal of [[kidney stone]]s where ultrasound is used to pulverize the stones.
**[[Pain]]
 
**Limitation in movement
* Possible [[side effects]] of [[surgery]] include:
**[[Scar]] formation
**[[Seroma]]
**[[Hematoma]]
*Recurrence is not common and may occur in less than 5% of cases.
*Alternative treatment options include [[liposuction]] and [[subcutaneous]] [[deoxycholate]] [[injection]].<ref name="pmid10359246">{{cite journal |vauthors=Wilhelmi BJ, Blackwell SJ, Mancoll JS, Phillips LG |title=Another indication for liposuction: small facial lipomas |journal=Plast.
