That sounds like lipoma. See your Doc to make sure. If so they are surgically removed - maybe some free lipo?

I don't think your medical aid will pay for the removal of lipomas, which are rarely malignant.

I am your reference. I have had it done 4 times already. 3 different medical aids. All paid - 100% each and every time.
I'm not all that sure about the lipo suction method though - but i have a few lipoma floating around and will know soon.

That's awesome news. And keep us posted
I guess it's just a GP visit for the excision, rather than with a plastic surgeon?

I have them on my stomache, maybe six or seven an one big on that is getting visible as I get lean. I dont want scarring on my stomache. Does it make a scar?

The deep ones need a bit more work. Long time ago i had 2 deep ones in my back that needed drainage for 2 days. The methods must have changed since then because the last lot were done by a Plastic where some were deep as well and all without drainage.
It makes a small scar. If you look after it and avoid scar tissue by covering them watertight they are hardly visible after a while.
