I have a Lipoma in my mouth on the back side of my lip. How would you suggest getting rid of that ?
Answer: Excision of lipoma or lump in the mouth
This is an atypical presentation of a lipoma, but should be removed nonetheless. I would recommend early excision from inside the mouth mucosa.

Answer: Lipoma of the lip is probably an hemangioma.
If you have a soft tumor of the lip, it is most likely a small hemangioma. I have never seen a lipoma of the lip although it is certainly possible. Either can be easily removed with surgery under local anesthesia.

Answer: Lipoma removal
Lipoma can be easily excised and if symptomatic or if there is a significant growth in short amount of time, there should be adequate medical necessity to warrant third party insurance coverage. Alternative method to remove lipoma may include tumescent liposuction. However, lipoma on lips is exceedingly rare and biopsy is definitely recommended to rule out salivary gland hypertrophy, skin cancer, etc.

Answer: Lip Lesions not usually Lipomas
I have removed many lesions from the lip (both on the lip and within the lip). It is indeed rare to have a true lipoma in this location, although it is possible. Other non-cancerous tumors can grow there. However, you should definitely have it removed so that it can be evaluated for any pathology.

Answer: Lip lump unlikely lipoma.
I agree with the other physicians. This is unlikely to be a true lipoma, but may be another type of benign, harmless growth. Just in case, if it is persisting, and especially if it is getting in your way, have it carefully removed by a qualified ENT or facial plastic surgeon. Certain very skilled dermatologic surgeons may also be able to help you equally well.
