I have a lipoma on my left buttock, which changes the contour of my buttocks. I am currently on a diet and exercise plan, and the more weight I lose, the more noticeable this is becoming. Can I have lipoma removal with minimal scarring on my buttocks? Thank you.

Answer: With proper scar after care, you ca help minimize the appearance of the scar
This is a difficult question to answer without examining you or at least seeing a photo. There could be several reasons you are having pain or see a "sac". The best follow up care you can get is to discuss this again with your plastic surgeon or the second plastic surgeon.

The absolute size of the lipomas in the axillae (armpits) is the most important determining factor for your recovery. The larger the lesions, the more likely you are to require more recovery time. Do not over-do it after surgery; allow your body enough time to heal.
