Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. In most cases a lipoma needs to be surgically removed in order to minimize the chance of recurrence. Unfortunately Propolis does not naturally dissolve lipomas. Hope this helps.
Sorry but I'm not aware of propolis as an effective treatment for the lipomas you appear to have in the photos.

Local anesthesia is appropriate for removal of lipomas on most patients. However, if the lipoma is large or there are multiple or the patient is concerned about being awake during surgery, very safe anesthesia which puts you to sleep during the procedure can be used. Talk it over with your doctor.
