Subcutaneous lipoma anterior chest wall
I recently noticed a bulging near my ribs and took a ultrasound and CT scan, where it's confirmed it is a subcutaneous lipoma in right lower anterior chestwall overlying 7-8th ribs.
I have no pain, but I have been advised to go through a surgery to remove it.
Do I really need to go through surgery for this? Would it cause any problem if I leave it like that?

Lipoma does not need immediate removal. If it's big then better to get it removed.
