Risks and Recovery Period of Deep Lipoma Removal?

CairnMom44
I have what is believed to be a lipoma in the small of my back. It is considered large and deep. I have had some pain and a lot of tingling and feeling like my skin is crawling near my spine. Could this lipoma be causing this? What would be the risks and recovery period for a surgery in this area?
