Hello,
Anesthetic medications go in fetal circulation and in first trimester can cause birth defects they are not safe but only in extreme cases you can use. I suggest you to consult with your doctor the possibility to follow up your lipoma and after birth to remove it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
