Dear snow1122,Generally speaking, lipomas don't cause symptoms and don't infiltrate the surrounding tissues. If you do have lipoma and it doesn't bother you, then it can be left untouched. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Thank you for sharing your excellent question. If you have confirmed that it is a lipoma then you need not do anything if it is not causing you issues. Lipomas are very slow growing and cause no injury to surrounding structures. Hope this helps.
