[|Human|] Hi- having had a lipoma removed under local anaesthesia, I am now 6 days post op. the lipoma was in my left flank and appeared to be attached to muscle. i am expereincing alot of pain and the area is stiull very swollen and hard. Is this to be expected?
[|AI|]  Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. This swelling and painful lump after lipoma excision, is mostly due to the nerve entanglement in the stitches and due to the bleeding in the cavity of the excised lipoma. I would suggest consultation with ER Surgeon who would treat it accordingly. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to Chat Doctor and be comfortable to resolve your health issues. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.
