Chances of reoccurrence for a lipoma removal from the buttocks?

jolie01
I had falling down the stairs years ago and developed an indentation on my butt. I then developed a lump on my right butt (7-8cm) I have had it examined via an ultrasound and I was told it was just a lipoma. I want to get rid of it but I have been told chances are it will come back again and that would be a waste of money. I was also told the location of the lipoma is tricky so it could cause complications Is there any thing I can do please?
