Thank you for sharing your question. Each patient heals differently after surgery and there should be some expectation of pain or discomfort in the first days after lipoma removal. If weight bearing activities and swelling can be kept to a minimum you should see steady improvement daily. If your pain is worsening, best to see your surgeon for an evaluation. Hope this helps.
You should contact your plastic surgeon. While some degree of discomfort is normal after this or any other surgical procedure, it sounds like your pain is outside the realm of what would typically be expected. This forum, however, cannot reasonably help you in this early post-operative period (assuming that's what it is). Contact your PS and arrange, most likely, to be seen in person. I hope that this helps and good luck. Dr. Alan Engler, Member of #RealSelf500

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Removal of your lipoma will not affect your ability to have a vaginal birth. Most lipomas on the lower abdomen that can be seen are above the muscles of the stomach and will not impact your ability of giving birth. Hope this helps.
