In what circumstances do we install a Drain for multiple lipoma removal ? Does it depends on the size ?
This would likely depend on size but also surgeon preference. I have never used a drain for lipoma removal as they tend to be superficial and a small pressure dressing is typically adequate to prevent swelling/ hematoma and much easier for you to deal with in the first couple days post surgery. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
