Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon

MBBS, MS - General Surgery

Personalised care, natural-looking results

Who Is a Good Candidate

  • ✓Diagnosed lymphangioma causing symptoms, recurrent infection, or cosmetic concern
  • ✓Imaging (ultrasound/MRI) typically used beforehand to assess depth and extent
  • ✓Good general health for the chosen treatment approach

Procedure Details

Treatment is tailored to the lesion: superficial lesions may respond to laser or sclerotherapy (an injected agent that shrinks the abnormal channels), while more defined lesions may be surgically excised under local or general anesthesia. Larger or deep lesions sometimes need a staged approach over more than one session.

Recovery Timeline

  1. Day 1-7 Site is dressed/monitored; some swelling or oozing is normal depending on technique used.
  2. Week 2-4 Initial healing settles; response to treatment becomes clearer.
  3. Month 1-6 Further sessions may be planned based on response, particularly for larger lesions.

Risks & Complications

As with any procedure, individual risk depends on your health history and will be discussed fully during consultation.

  • !Incomplete response requiring further treatment
  • !Recurrence, particularly with deeper/larger lesions
  • !Infection
  • !Scarring at the treatment site
  • !Fluid leakage (lymphorrhea) in some cases

Dr. Karan Ratna Pradhan's Approach

Dr. Pradhan's practice is built on the principle that plastic and reconstructive surgery should look natural, not "done." Every consultation starts with listening to what you want to change and why, followed by an honest discussion of what this procedure can and can't achieve for your specific anatomy, with techniques adapted case-by-case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can lymphangioma be fully cured in one treatment?
Some smaller lesions resolve with a single treatment, but larger or deeper malformations often require a staged plan over multiple sessions.
What imaging is needed beforehand?
An ultrasound or MRI is commonly used to map the extent of the lesion before deciding on the best approach.
Is this condition dangerous?
Lymphangiomas are benign, but can cause functional or cosmetic issues depending on location and size, which is why individualized assessment matters.
