I have a lump in my forehead. Can I get rid of this without surgery? (Photo)

Question

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but after I got Botox, the area became red and painful. My doctor advised me to get a carbon laser treatment after ten days, which I did a month later I did HIFU. I noticed that the small bump hadn't gone away. It's been three months now (since the botox), and a general surgeon told me it needs to be surgically removed. I would really like to know if there are any other options available.

I do this kind of thing frequently.  Usually this is a lipoma of the forehead which may happen, I believe, after trauma (or just bad luck).  We typically need to remove them, but, I can usually do this endoscopically with no visible scarring.
