Lipoma surgery usually requires stitches. Lipomas are benign tumors and are usually treated with surgical removal. Since lipoma surgery requires local tissue incision to remove the entire lipoma, professional medical sutures, such as absorbable sutures, are usually required to be used to apply a localized pressure bandage to the surgical incision before sutures are applied upon completion of the surgery. As the surgical incision heals, the sutures will gradually absorb on their own. After the lipoma surgery stitches, it is important to follow the doctor’s instructions for good postoperative care, regular disinfection, medication, and re-draping to avoid infection of the surgical incision. Once the surgical incision becomes infected, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for consultation and treatment. During the postoperative recovery period, no spicy stimulating or overly greasy food, no alcohol, and a light diet is good for the recovery of the surgical incision.
