The best candidates for Fibroma Removal

All Fibroma Surgeries carry some uncertainty and risk

Fibroma surgery, like any other surgical procedure, carries some risk. Complications from fibroma removal surgery are extremely uncommon. Local anesthesia may be combined with a sedative. This will be discussed with you by Dr. Antell in a consultation and is based on the specific details of your case.

If fibroma surgery is performed under rapid recovery local anesthesia alone, you will be allowed to return home the same day as treatment. Depending on the size of your fibroma, you may be able to remove your bandage the next day and carefully shower. Dr. Antell often uses dissolvable stitches during your fibroma surgery, which will be naturally processed by your body in the weeks following your fibroma treatment.

While fibroma excision is a very routine and safe procedure, all surgeries do carry some risk, uncertainty, and potential for complications. The most common complications for fibroma removal surgery include infection, bleeding, or a negative reaction to the sedative used. To ensure your health and well-being, Dr. Antell will ask about any previous surgeries you may have undergone as well as specific questions about your medical history and general health. These complications are very uncommon when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Antell in an accredited surgical facility.

The overall risk may be higher in some cases of fibromas, depending on the size, location, quantity, and severity of the fibromas. In order to reduce scarring, Dr. Antell always implements rapid recovery scar-minimizing surgical techniques for the most cosmetically appealing results.

Planning your Fibroma Surgery

Preparing for your Fibroma Removal

In some cases, smaller fibromas may be able to be removed during the same day as your consultation if they only require local anesthesia. Larger, multiple, or more severe fibromas will require an additional appointment to be made. Dr. Antell can arrange for twilight anesthesia or any other form of anesthesia for your fibroma surgery if he feels you may benefit from it.

Where your Fibroma Removal will be performed

Dr. Antell will often choose to perform your fibroma removal surgery in his private, state-of-the-art accredited surgical facility. Rarely, Dr. Antell may advise that fibroma removal surgery be performed in a hospital setting. In the vast majority of cases, fibroma surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, which means that most patients are able to return home the same day of their fibroma removal surgery.
