Many years 1/2 size pea lipoma on butt. noticed it has moved downward as i have gotten older but still same size. i realize things move with gravity, but can lipomas move positions? thank you?

Lipomas stay fixed in the subcutaneous tissue and don't freely move about. It was just sagging of your buttocks that did the moving.
