Question

Any subcutaneous lipoma will not affect your preganacy or chances of getting pregnant.

If it is bothering you can get it removed.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

A lipoma of the stomach is usually harmless and poses no health threats. The danger arises when the tumor compresses the internal organs or degenerates into malignant. Having a lipoma in your stomach should not interfere with you getting pregnant.

Dear amberinnes2000,
lipoma is located under skin and above muscles and it will have no effect on future pregnancies. However, if it bothers you it can be removed. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
