Does my lipoma incision look infected? (photo)

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Any orthopedic, plastic, or general surgeon can remove the lipoma, but best to see a series of surgeons in consultation so that you can determine who you feel most at ease with.  Best wishes. 

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  For most patients driving can be resumed within a day or two of surgery, although you will feel sore.  Best to ask your surgeon the specifics of your case as they can offer you the best advice based on the procedure to be performed.  

Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia....

Thank you for sharing your question.  Assuming you have not had any issues during your recovery you should be fine to entertain a massage at this time.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  I would recommend seeing your surgeon for a follow up visit.  If this is a recurrence of a lipoma then a revision operation will be needed to remove the additional tissue.  If this is scar tissue, other treatments may suffice.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question.  In most cases lipomas are best treated with direct excision of the mass to minimize the risk of recurrence.  Hope this helps.
