Is there anyone cured from lipomas?
Lipomas are fatty deposits that accumulate beneath the skin. In the majority of cases they are completely benign, but the protruding lump that they form can be quite unsightly. They are soft and can be moved about under the skin and most frequently appear on the neck, back, shoulders and thighs. They are usually painless, but may cause pain if they grow too large and exert pressure on any nerves.
What do you know about lipoma and how much the surgery costs?
By lipoma I assume that you meansubqutaneous lipomas .They are rarely malignant although possibly so. They mey be uncomfortable presumably becuase they make the overlying skin and nerve bounce in to stuff but perhaps better described as unknown reason.There may be cosmetic issues and possbily surgery might improve the looks however being assured that thee will be an improvement as opposed to just looking different is a concern.A small but prominat bum cut out of an exposed position would be a very different thing from a 15 by 10 by 10 cm lump or possibly multple lumps.The cost of optional surgery in America is all over the place.In general you would need to discuss it in person with the various option. Liboma suction might be an option, I would guess that it would be more expensive.
Is there a non surgical treatment for lipoma?
A lipoma is a slow-growing, fatty tumor situated between the skin and the muscle layer. Often a lipoma is easy to identify because it moves readily with slight finger pressure. It's doughy to touch and usually not tender. You could have several that persist for years. Lipomas can occur at any age, but they're most often detected in middle age. A lipoma isn't cancer and is usually harmless. Treatment generally isn't necessary, but if the lipoma is in a bothersome location, is painful or is growing, it should be removed. Treatment If you have a lipoma, no treatment is usually necessary. However, if the lipoma is in a bothersome location, is painful or is growing, your doctor might recommend that it be removed. Treatments include: Steroid injections. This treatment shrinks the lipoma but usually doesn't completely eliminate the tumor. Steroid injections are typically used with smaller tumors — those less than 2.5 centimeters in diameter. Liposuction. This treatment uses a needle and a large syringe to remove the fatty tumor. Liposuction is usually done when the lipoma is in a location where you want to avoid a large scar. It's difficult to remove the entire tumor with this technique. Surgical removal. Larger lipomas are best removed by surgically cutting them out. Recurrences after removal are uncommon. Nonexcisional treatment of lipomas, which is now common, includes steroid injections and liposuction. Steroid injections result in local fat atrophy, thus shrinking (or, rarely, eliminating) the lipoma. Injections are best performed on lipomas less than 1 inch in diameter. A one-to-one mixture of 1 percent lidocaine (Xylocaine) and triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog), in a dosage of 10 mg per mL, is injected into the center of the lesion; this procedure may be repeated several times at monthly intervals.8 The volume of steroid depends on the size of the lipoma, with an average of 1 to 3 mL of total volume administered. The number of injections depends on the response, which is expected to occur within three to four weeks. Complications, which are rare, are the result of the medication or the procedure, and can be prevented by injecting the smallest total amount possible and by positioning the needle so that it is in the center of the lipoma.

Can you ask to be sedated during lipoma removal?
Of course. It's routine, actually, and I don't know why it wasn't offered to you, unless the surgeon plans on removing the lipoma in his/her office. A little bit of sedation may be all that you need to not worry or think about the surgery. Very easy to do. Sometimes we give deep sedation or a light general anesthetic for surgery like yours. It depends on what your needs and the surgeon's needs are. If it's grown around the tendon, it may take more than an hour to get it out of there. TALK TO YOUR SURGEON way ahead of time. It makes a difference in how the procedure is scheduled, and may make a difference in where you have it done. You will also not be able to have anything to eat or drink on the day of the surgery. Versed is a wonderful drug - I've given it to tens of thousands of patients. Poor arnie's wife had a bad experience where it was used inappropriately. He's a bit nuts about it, and posts that rant all over the place. It's like somebody getting stabbed, and then going crazy and calling for all knives to be banned. Ignore him.
Very nervous please see if you can help Lipoma / Liposarcoma question?
It isn’t a sarcoma. If it were there would be no doubt in anyone’s mind about it after 9 years, if you were still alive that is.

Surgical excision is one of the options. As far as I know is there is no medicine or herbal plants which can cure any tumour.
How do you get rid of a benign lipoma in dogs without surgery?
Lipomas are benign and don’t harm anything unless they grow large enough to hinder movement or impinge on other organs ….. most dogs with lipomas are overweight and reducing the dogs weight will often reduce the size of the mass ….. I disagree with one line of thought … unless your veterinarian is experienced enough to read a needle aspirate in house and give you results for a minimal fee I would not recommend performing a fine needle aspirate and sending it to a pathologist for results …. First most experienced veterinarians can tell you with a high degree of accuracy if it is a lipoma or not …. 100 % no but definitely a high enough degree of accuracy to tell you to monitor or to remove ….. more to the point is if the mass is large enough to be of concern to you why pay to have a pathologist tell you yes it needs to be removed …. Just remove it and be done with it …. 1 sedation .. 1 histopath charge …1 surgery ….. like the other response you received I usually advise clients to monitor lipomas until their dog needs another procedure such as a dental cleaning and then perform both procedures so the dog is under anesthesia only once
