Will I be able to swim 1 month after having back lipoma surgery? I have a holiday booked ?

Thank you for sharing your question.  In most cases patients who have an uncomplicated recovery will be able to submerge their incisions, and swim, 4 weeks after surgery.  Talk to your surgeon about your concerns, they can offer you the best advice. 

Yes, you should be able to go swimming after your surgery, but check with your surgeon on the specifics of aftercare. Sincerely,Dr. Benjamin J. Cousins MD Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Unless there are complication from the surgery, you should be able to swim shortly after lipoma removal. Good luck and take care.
