Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Lipomas do not grow overnight but the recent injury may have drawn enough attention to the area that you noticed its location. These can typically be removed with a small, in-office procedure.  Hope this helps.

Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia....

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Surgery is typically avoided for pregnant patients so I would wait until after delivery of your second child before seeking mass resolution.  Hope this helps.
