I have lipomas on my back and in other areas. Diameter is about 1-2 cm (1/2 to 3/4 inch or so). I have about 8 in my back, below my rib cage and above the waistline. I have had a tangerine-sized one removed from my neck, another from my arm, both benign. Can my lipomas be removed via liposuction, or would this just spread the problem around? Can I combine removing the lipomas with a cosmetic lipo to get rid of some belly and waist fat? I am 5'7" tall, 175 pounds. I exercise and I'm reasonably fit. Thanks!
