Hello Ashwani and welcome to HCM
The decision whether surgery is to be performed or not, lots depend on FNAC report. You have not written whether you have done FNAC or not. If your swelling size is increasing day by day, Causing pain or its hardness is increasing than go for FNAC urgently. Otherwise follow the advise of your surgeon. Sometimes these type of tissue will not cause any harm.
