How long should I not take a bath since lipoma surgery?

Every physician has their protocol for bathing after lipoma removal. If the wound is small, I allow showers the next day following surgery but prefer no swimming, bathing or Jacuzzi for 1-2 weeks since prolonged water exposure can make the wound soggy and lead to incision separation. Larger wounds may require a bit longer wait but again, showers are ok immediately. Good luck and take care.
