I had an extremely large lipoma removed from my upper back 16 days ago. The surgeon told me I would come home with a drain tube, but whoever closed for him failed to include it. 2 weeks later, i still have fluid, swelling, deep knots and pain on one side. The incision leaks a bit at one corner. I use cold packs mostly, but have tried heat. I used an antibiotic ointment. I saw the doc last friday. He seems unconcerned.

I had a 10 lb lipoma removed April 27, 2017 .. my drain is still inserted and I am still pushing out like 70cc twice a day. This morning I noticed it hanging to my ankle. It came out. What do I do. .. I am getting off work and going to e.r, but my appointment isn't until another two days for a followup from my last visit a few weeks ago.
The growths on my back was diagnosed as lipomas a few years back and I had one removed ,but the things on my back leaks a fluid and smells bad which is very embarrassing and I am just wondering if they are really lipomas or something else. I am sorry that I can't send a picture of them, because I don't have anyone here to here to take a picture of them,,because I live alone, but they are rounded and look like lipomas, but they leak fluid and smells bad.
