Lipomas carry the risk of inflammation and restricted movement, in addition to being an aesthetic issue.
Lipomas do not turn into cancer and are completely harmless. They only cause problems aesthetically.
The smaller the lipoma when it is operated on, the less the resulting scar and aesthetic defect will be.
Lipomas are not painful unless they reach a very large size or become inflamed.

Lipomas can recur in rare cases after being surgically removed from under the skin. In this case, a second surgery may be necessary. Although there are some reports of lipomas disappearing on their own, there is still a chance of recurrence.
