I had a lipoma removal on my forehead 2 months ago. It still has a little swelling in a side of the incision. Is that normal?

Lipoma surgery can result in scars. I would begin massage therapy and apply Plato's Scar Serum to the scars twice daily. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

This is not uncommon at 2 months following surgery. Massage can speed the resolution of swelling or your surgeon might consider a very mild steroid or you can just give this more time. Best.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately without a photograph it is difficult to offer definite advice, but in most cases swelling in the face from a lipoma excision should have resolved by now, depending on its size.  I would recommend seeing your surgeon for an in-person evaluation to discuss your incision and swelling.  There may be another reason for the irregularity such as suturing technique or a discrete fluid collection such as a seroma.  Hope this helps.
