Lipomas can occur after tissue trauma. Surgical removal is relatively simple if performed early in its development. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

Thank you for sharing your question.  We do not know exactly why lipomas form outside of it being inherent to a patient's DNA. Though some masses can form as a result of trauma, lipomas are not one of them.  Hope this helps.
