I had a lipoma removed from my forehead 2 days ago.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Yes it is common to have swelling "track" down the face after a surgical excision and this should improve quickly over a series of days. Hang in there and maintain close follow up with your surgeon to ensure an uncomplicated recovery. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Yes, this is most likely normal. You may want to send a picture to your surgeon, just to make sure - but typically, swelling travels downward. So, if you had something removed on your forehead, then the swelling will continue to travel down to your eyes and nose. Things that can help: sleeping upright, or on a couple pillows. Best of luck!
