Brief Answer:
Should be removed - no known risks.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history of lipoma under eyelids, advised to see Oculoplastic Surgeon.
If there are lumps/lipomas at such a place, they should be removed as they will grow over time and make surgery difficult and scar larger.
No known risk as this is a routine surgery for an Oculoplastic Surgeon and is well experienced in such area to give you the best results.
Please go ahead.
