How long after lipoma removal on upper back can I go and get a deep tissue massage? Had it removed 12/31/18.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  I would recommend seeing your surgeon for a follow up visit.  If this is a recurrence of a lipoma then a revision operation will be needed to remove the additional tissue.  If this is scar tissue, other treatments may suffice.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question.  In most cases lipomas are best treated with direct excision of the mass to minimize the risk of recurrence.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Lipomas do not grow overnight but the recent injury may have drawn enough attention to the area that you noticed its location. These can typically be removed with a small, in-office procedure.  Hope this helps.

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....

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Surgery is typically avoided for pregnant patients so I would wait until after delivery of your second child before seeking mass resolution.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  For most patients a lipoma removal can be performed in an office-based setting under local anesthesia.  Hope this helps.
