Can liposuction treat a fatty tumor?
Yes, it is very successful in treating fatty tumors, commonly called lipomas. The only problem is that liposuction will destroy the tissue in the process of removing it, so an absolute diagnosis cannot be assured. Also, these fatty tumors can sometimes recur after liposuction. The alternative is surgical removal of the lipoma, which will leave a linear scar and also a possible contour deformity.
