Leave it alone: you can leave them alone unless they are getting bigger,or causing pain,or getting infected.or if they are in area of the body that a person might feel embarrassed. to remove them required surgery,and always remember your are replacing a small lipoma with a scar. some plastic surgeon are using liposuction to remove some ,specially the large one. good luck. i hope that answer your question.
