Recovery for Deltoid Lipoma Removal?
Lipoma resection is usually very straightforward surgery. We perform these surgeries routinely in the office under local anesthesia. Recovery is usually quick with pain resolving in a few days usually. The incision and scar will continue to mature over six months.
Clinical Context
Lipomas are soft, benign fatty growths that typically sit just beneath the skin and can usually be removed through a small incision. Most heal well with minimal discomfort. Some swelling or bruising is normal in the first week. Keeping the incision clean and avoiding heavy shoulder use early on supports smooth healing. Final scar appearance improves gradually over several months.
