Is lipoma removal via liposuction usually successfull?

robbie37127
I have over 50 lipomas in each thigh and several in my upper arms as well. I do not want all the scars on my legs or arms, so I am considering liposuction to have the lipomas removed. When I spoke to my general practitioner, he informed me that this is not the way to go about it and I would need to get each one individually removed, but I have read online that some people do elect to have the liposuction procedure to remove the lipomas. Or if there is another procedure that you know of??
