How Big Should the Lipoma Be for Surgery to Take Place?

October 19, 2009
Asked By:ScareyGirl in Sacto., CA

I have big one behind left elbow along with smaller one in same area that are starting to connect. Also one in my upper left thigh size of green grape, and another one right thigh hard and pointy like a dart head, and one more on side of left side of stomach about big as a thumb. None of it is painful unless I bump them accidentally or try to squeeze them. They all seem to have many blood vessels visually seen in them.
