My derrmatoligist is still testing them all before I can make an appointment to remove and it seems like each Plastic Surgeon has a different method that they will push as the best. I have hundreds perhaps even more of tiny lipomas. I have them practically in bunches in areas for most part [abdomen, groin, upper thighs, lower arms ] and nowhere else. Besides ones on abs they are in between the diameter of like 1 to 3 times the size of grain of rice. Excision seems excessive - opinions?
