I am trying to find out if there is a doctor in the Pittsburgh PA or surrounding areas that has experience successfully removing these using a lipo / gradual milking technique to remove it through a small incision. I do not know for certain if my lipoma it attached to muscle but it is suspected that it could be. I am really hoping for a scar that small as possible.

Answer: Lipomas can be removed by making a small incision to prevent serious scaring.
Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia....
I'm very sorry - because it would be nice if it were that simple - but I am unaware of flour and honey, in any combination, being effective in making a lipoma disappear or affecting it in any way. Sorry about that...Dr. Alan Engler, Member of #RealSelf500
