Drain and Recovery After Lipoma Removal

You should be also to attend your vacation a week after the removal of the drain. Large back lipomas can result in fluid collection. A drain is a good approach to minimize the fluid collection. If may be removed after seven to ten days.

I would not plan a vacation one week after a lipoma removal. Lipomas of the lower back, especially large ones, are more prone to fluid accumulation after removal and I agree that a drain is an excellent idea. Even if all goes well and the drain can be removed within one week, it is likely that your plastic surgeon will advise activiity limitations and restrictions. What kind of vacation is that?

I actually don't recommend anyone travel a week after a procedure.  There are to many variables to control. Wound complications such as separation or drainage frequently occur.  These days it is more common for a patient  to come from the community with a Staph infection as well.
