Can I have my underarm lipomas removed while pregnant?

February 27, 2019
Asked By:sayongsayo in Brisbane, AU

I have lipomas on both my underarms which caused so much pain while breastfeeding my first child because my underarm got so big as I produced breastmilk. I could hardly sleep/rest from the pain so the doctor adviced me to transition to formula/stop breastfeeding so I am in better shape taking care of the baby. Im pregnant with my second child now and wants to breastfeed so I wonder if I can have my lipomas removed before the baby comes out so breastfeeding wont be painful this time around?
