12 days ago I had a small, but troublesome, lipoma removed from my chest wall. I just had the sutures removed yesterday and there seems to be a significant amount of scar tissue or something left under the skin--almost as large as the lipoma itself had been. Should I wait and see if it's just inflamation? Is there anything the doctor could do to reduce it if it were, in fact, scar tissue?

 Hi squidahoy,
Based on your description, it does sound typical of wound healing and the thicker texture will decrease and essentially subside with a little time.
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN
