CONTACT NOW Answer: Recovery lipoma surgery The recovery depends on how large the Lipoma is and where it's located. In most cases they are superficial and most patients can have this procedure done in 30 minutes under local anesthesia and return to work the next day. I would recommend you find a board-certified plastic surgeon by the American Board of plastic surgery who has an extensive experience in lipoma removal.Best Regards,Dr. Gartner

Answer: Lipoma removal recovery Lipoma removal recovery depends on how large the lipoma and incision are, and where the lesion is located. In most cases, wound care would be very straightforward and uncomplicated, with possibly only requiring some antibiotic ointment application 2-3 days until the incision is healed. My patients would be instructed to refrain from physical exertion, exercise, lifting, or straining for a total of 2 weeks. For very large lipomas, some pain medicine and antibiotics may be required post-operatively. All the best,

Answer: Recovery from Lipoma removal Recovery time will depend upon whether the lipoma was subcutaneous or submuscular and, certainly, its size. Patients return to work the following day with suture removal about one week later, depending on the location of the mass. You should refrain from exercise which could affect the patenxy of the closure until given the all clear by your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Lipoma removal recovery
In most cases, depending on the size or location, I remove lipomas with local anesthesia. You can go home afterwards and patients typically return to work the next day. This should have minimal impact on your daily routine.
