How Can A Non Malignant Tumor In The Face Be Removed?

Hi, I have a non-maliginant tumor on the side of my face. The Dr told me that there was a possiblity of a nerve being cut during the operation to remove the tumor, if so my whole side of my face would be frozen. I said no, it would ruin my life. That was 2 years ago, it has gotten bigger and is noticable on my face. Is there any other way the tumor can be removed safely..???
