Fatty deposit lumps under skin

[crazzeescrapper 125]

Hello. For years I have noticed several lumps on my arms. When I asked my doctor she states they are harmless and just hard fatty deposits. Recently these lumps appear larger and I'm now founding them all over my body. Has anyone else experienced this? Do they shrink when you lose weight? My surgery is July 24 and they are noticeably easy to see now with all my fat. I'm worried when I start losing I'm going to look like I have internal mumps or something!

I have them in my legs and they go away/get smaller when I lose weight. I noticed they were gone when I lost about 40 pounds a few years back. Of course they are back now.

They are called lypomas...fatty deposits. I've had them all over for years - thin or heavier. I actually had some of them surgically removed because they got so tender. Am Considering having some removed again. Going to wait and see which ones look the biggest and hurt the most lol. I was told they can be somewhat hereditary - my mother has them as well. Harmless, but annoying!

I had one size of a football on my spine...had never noticed it till a surgeon showed my hubs...needles to say it got removed...I also ended up with one big one on side of right breast we thought for sure it was cancer but it wasn't but it also got removed it ended up being Calcium deposit,

How do they remove them? Can it be done in a doctor office or is it a surgery?

Thanks

Its a surgery but it was wasn't a bad one. I had seven of them removed at once.
