Most lipomas can be removed quite simply. Stitches will be required. The number removed per session: depends on the surgeon/dermatologist. As a general rule, I do not remove more than 3 per session. Perhaps you have access to a teaching hospital where resident physicians may be able to remove many more per session. When new lipomas will cease to form is an open question.
