Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. 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 HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
