Thank you for sharing your question.  Assuming you have not had any issues during your recovery you should be fine to entertain a massage at this time.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question, but be sure to check in with your surgeon as all surgeons have different post op care preferences. I usually recommend waiting about a month before getting a massage depending on how deep the lipoma was and if the scare has healed yet. As you are almost 3 months out you should be alright but always check with your surgeon first!
