Neck lipoma
The presence of a growing lipoma in the neck would suggest the need to have it removed. Either a plastic surgeon or an ENT surgeon would be your best bet. Get it done before it grows larger and makes the surgery riskier.

Lipoma
Lipoma of the neck must be evaluated very carefully. The neck is a very complex anatomical structure, filled with important vessels, nerves, and vital structures.
The lipomas of the neck is mostly submuscular, if lipomas are growing they should be evaluated .
See a BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON ( AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC SURGERY) for examination, evaluation and discussion of your options.
