Lipomas are normally removed by simple excision. [27] The removal can often be done under local anesthetic and takes less than 30 minutes. This cures the great majority of cases, with about 1–2% of lipomas recurring after excision. [28] Liposuction is another option if the lipoma is soft and has a small connective tissue component.

Reconstructive, medically necessary liposuction is used to treat lipedema, [7] to remove excess fat in the chronic medical condition lymphedema, [8] and to remove lipomas from areas of the body.

[ 67 ] In myxoid liposarcoma, it shows low signal intensity mass with high signal intensity foci on T1-weighted MRI images.
