How long is the recovery period after lipoma removal? Are there any restrictions during 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.

Lipoma resection recovery is typically quick, but it can depend on the size and location of the lipoma.  In rare cases drains may be required.  Exercise may need to be curtailed for a few weeks.
You should have a careful discussion with your surgeon regarding the specific details.

I hope this helps!
