My surgery was on Thurs. August 10, and I am having a very, very small amount of drainage. I still have swelling and I am still sore is this normal? Do I need to worry about the fluid inside?

Answer: #Lipoma - I had a large lipoma removed Based on your descriptions, you should contact your own PS and arrange to be seen in person. It's hard to tell from the photos but if you hear fluid sloshing about then a collection of fluid (fluid that accumulates within the space where the lipoma was) has at least to be considered. Drains are often used to help prevent such a buildup, although even that doesn't guarantee it won't happen. Touch base with your PS and then you'll have a better idea of what, if anything, needs to be done at this time. I hope that this helps and good luck, Dr. E
