I had an attempted Lipoma Removal, that didn’t go to plan.. My Doctor Is experienced in doing minor surgery Eg cyst/lipoma removal etc.. He stopped the lipoma removal and stitched me back up removing Little he said(I’m assuming the only bits were for biopsy).. He said he had concerns about my excessive bleeding during lipoma surgery and said I need to have blood tests to determine why this might be happening.. So I’m a bit worried now, about me haveing excessive bleeding etc..

Answer: Is excessive bleeding during lipoma removal bad?

Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia....
