Is it normal I have swelling and bruising 1 month after angiolipoma removal?

Question

I had a lipoma removed in a dr. Office angiolipoma . It's been a month still hurts, swollen and bruising again. Is this normal.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Although swelling and bruising may be possible it warrants an evaluation by your surgeon to ensure your healing is progressing well.  Assuming both issues have steadily been improving over the last 4 weeks then all is likely okay. Hope this helps.

Dear brooke75,
any surgery will cause swelling and in most cases some bruising which should resolve quickly. Any new bruising or increased swelling might be a reason to be worried. I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.
