Consider a forehead lipoma removal with an incision on the lipoma itself. 1)Are there significant differences between stitches x glue? Which one would be recommended considering healing and scars? 2)Are there benefits of having botox before the surgery? How long beforehandshould the injectionbe done? If not recommended, how long after the removalcan one botox the area? 3)How long should one wait after the surgery in order to treat the face with laser (e.g.Fotona 4D)or chemical peels?
I had lipoma surgery on the 12th of April. On the 22 of April the 6 stitches were removed. On my right foot just beside the ankle. They put on steri strips after stitch removal and after surgery they told me to continue with normal activities.
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 had a 3cm lipoma removed off my forehead 6 days ago. After surgery the site was flat, 2 days later my eye swelled, and now at day 5 and 6 there is a swollen lump after the stiches were taken out. Will my incision site go flat? Scared I will have a new lump. How do I help the swelling?
I'm supposed to get the stitches (above my tibialis anterior muscle) out in the next 1-3 days and I'm nervous that they're not ready to come out & are infected. I'm mostly concerned with what looks like a blood blister on the right side of the incision & the tender knot below the incision. It's still red & sore, but doesn't feel warm/hot and is dry. Does this look infected and unhealed to you? I've been using an antibiotic ointment and taking cephalexin twice a day.
I had a lipoma removed 4 weeks ago and have since healed. I saw what I thought was dry skin on the incision and pulled it. It was a dissolve able stitch and it is hanging about a quarter inch out. Should I go back to my doctor or can I just pull it out?
