I am pregnant and have a lipoma on my thigh. Can you operate on me?

Hello nadarlene, thank you for your query. How big is this lipoma? what is bothering you about right now? some pregnant women report that their lipomas grow just in so much as they gain weight from the pregnancy. My suggestion is to wait until your delivery before you have it removed, even if it is removed in the office you will still have to deal with a wound which may or may not heal the way you want it to. If you absolutely must remove it then seeing your doctor and obstetricians, they may approve surgery in the third trimester safely.
