Lipoma recurrence after removal?

shallie
i had a lipoma in my upper left arm removed about 2 years ago. Biopsy showed benign results. However, a year after, a new one has formed and developed just beside the original area. Also, two other small lumps developed in my other arm. same area with those in the left arm. what is the reason for this? I am afraid to have them surgially removed again. I fear that if i do, new ones might develop again. please guide me what to do. Thank you
