How long does it take to recover from a lipoma surgery on your leg?

I was diagnosed with lipomas on my leg. I will have surgery. How long does it take to recover from surgery?

Normally 2-4 weeks with physical therapy.
It largely depends on the size and location. For a small lipoma, you may be fully recovered in less than 5 days. For a larger lipoma, it may take 2-4 weeks.
