Asked By:carolpoole in California, CA

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?
