Any food restriction after Lipoma Resection?

Question

Is there any kind of food that might interfere with the healing process?

Christopher Khorsandi, MD · Answer

Typically the healing process from lipomas is smooth and there are very few restrictions in terms of diet.  The one thing to avoid is smoking which interferes with all types of healing.  Good Luck.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Unless the lipoma being resected is near the mouth, there should be no food restriction after resection of a lipoma in a healthy individual.

Alan M. Engler, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

Not really although, in general, we advise against using any products that interfere with the blood clotting process for a period of at least three weeks before and after surgery.  These include aspirin, NSAIDs, Vitamin E, gingko biloba and a wide range of products that contain them, or that have similar effects.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of RealSelf100
