The only thing you can do is have them excised, I would recommend you find a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a large experience in lipoma removal to minimize the scarring as much as possible. Your medical insurance could potentially cover this.Best Regards,Dr. Gartner

It is always preferable to not operate on a pregnant individual unless it's absolutely necessary. But it could be done if a lipoma was small superficial and only local anesthesia was necessary. It would be best to be evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon.Best Regards,Dr. Gartner
