Does lipoma removal under armpit affect lactation?

Thank you for sharing your questions.  If your underarm mass has been diagnosed as a lipoma, removal will not affect lactation or your ability to nurse.  If you are actively breast feeding it would be best to have the lipoma removed 3-6 months after you have stopped.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.  Removal of a lipoma under the armpit should not affect lactation in the future. However, if you are lactating now and wish to have your lipoma excised, please wait all least 3 - 6 months. Best of luck to you.
