Hello:)Welcome to HCM.
As you mentioned there is no increase in size or not tender, it seems to be a benign hemangioma lesion.You did not mention if another lesion is present on his body elsewhere.
However, a complete clinical examination is necessary for diagnosis.
I advice you to trust your surgeon and wait to monitor the lesion.
You can be worried if you see any change in the appearance,size texture or any pain associated.
Regards.
