Will it be painful to walk afterwards after removal on my thigh?

MichelleMorgan
I am getting two lipoma lumps from my right thigh, one is about an inch across and the other is the size of a nickel. Will it be painful to walk afterwards, like would even everyday walking and movement pull on the stitches? What measures should I take to make sure everything heals properly? & how many days should I book off work for this prodedure? Thanks!
