Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this lipoma on your face. Lipomas are best left alone because they cause minimal symptoms and have little or no potential of becoming dangerous to health in future. I will suggest that you weigh the risk and benefits of any procedure before undertaking any. If you feel comfortable with the lipomas, there is no point in undertaking such a huge risk to get the removed. However, if you think this must be removed, then you should be able to bear the consequences that might come with it.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information if need be.
