Posted under Lipoma Removal q&a

Will the void from lipoma removal close up or remain hollow after the fluid has been absorbed by the body?

mikemike2646
I had a Lipoma removed from just below the nape of the neck near the atlas which extend to the top of the taps close to the spinal column on the right side. The surgery was about three weeks ago. The swelling is just about gone I can feel the void where the lipoma use to be. I am not sure what the actual size of the lipoma but medium to take a guess, the growth was there for more than ten years. I don't have per or post picture of the site.
