I had lipomas across my body (varied sizes). a year back, i had an infection in the thigh lipoma (in inch dia) & got it operated. again there was fat accumulation in the same place and lipoma recurred. A month back again it got infected & i had another surgery in same place. a hole was left to drain the fluid/ collection. it had healed & was pressing it in perimeter to see if collection is there. I guess i pressed too hard and it got infected again. I am unable to understand the root cause.
I had 4 very large lipomas removed from my lower back last year, they were very large the combined size shown on the pathology report was 535 cubic inches. I now have 2 giant seromas that will not go away. I have had them drained several times, the Dr usually drains about 250ccs from one and 175ccs from the other. I wear compression 24/7. My Dr will not consider putting in a drain, she says she just doesn't do that. Would you put in a drain in this situation?
I had a minor surgery to remove a lipoma (4cm) on the crown of my head. The procedure was supposed to be 10 minutes but took almost an hour because it turned out that the lipoma was covered with lots of blood vessels (angiolipoma?) Since the surgery (6 weeks ago) ive had a golf ball sized swelling on my head. The doctor initially told me would resolve in the first 2 weeks. Ive had most of it drained by doctor (it is thick blood) but within 12 hours it is golfball sized again. Any thoughts?
I had a cyst removed a few months ago. I went to a dermatologist and she closed it with dissolvable stitches inside and regular stitches outside. I had my top stitches removed and it looked like it closed nicely but yesterday I noticed swelling and some drainage coming out. BUT I noticed a small pin sized hole next to the initial incision line. What does this mean? There are no signs of infection and very minimal drainage. Im worried and can't see my doctor for another few days.
I am considering having a lipoma removed on my lower back but it is larger than 10 cm in diameter and my surgeon has advised that drainage over 3-4 days will be necessary due to possibility of fluid accumulation and subsequent infection risk. I have heard from other doctors however that this is not required and that the lipoma is simply excised and incision will be sutured. Which is the more common alternative for a lipoma located on the lower left back? Thanks
My surgery was on Thurs. August 10, and I am having a very, very small amount of drainage. I still have swelling and I am still sore is this normal? Do I need to worry about the fluid inside?
Had a 5 cm lipoma on left flank growing slowly. After a normal fnac surgeon operated it on 2nd June .and discharged me after the night . No drainage was there. now there is a tiny abcess on the cut. And there is pain as if it is done only yesterday. The pain is not much but drawing concentration all the time. The pain is like some needle going inside all the time. After this one and half month why should there be light pain on touch or light rubbing?
Last week I had surgery to remove a lipoma on my upper thigh. For a week I had a draining tube in. A week later they removed it and said it will drain through the hole that the tube was in. Well now the hole has sealed up and the area i had surgery on Is swollen and all red and hurts when it's touched. Will it drain by itself and break through the hole?
I had a very large lipoma removed below my neck. I had a drain but it did not work well and it had to be removed 2 days after. I have a lot of fluid still collecting and leaking out of my whole from the drain. My surgon told me he is not sure what to do with my issue. The pressure causes me pain so much i don't feel the pain from my insticstion. I am at a loss for what to do and i think my dr. is to any help would be apprciated.
