Abstract

[...]10 g (10 mL) of ozone-oxygen mixture was injected into the lipoma under the ultrasound-guidance [Figure 1]A. The patient’s discomfort disappeared immediately after the procedure. [...]these procedures are associated with risks of scarring, seroma, and hematoma formation. [...]minimally invasive techniques can be preferred especially for patients with multiple lipomas or for those unwilling to undergo surgical removal. Ozone-oxygen therapy can be an effective treatment for lipodystrophies through splitting fatty acids by reducing the chains and making them hydrophilic, the removal of interstitial edema due to cellulite or poor circulation, and also through providing more oxygen which improves local metabolism and venous/lymphatic circulation.
