Hello
As you mentioned that these lumps are getting smaller in size so why ? surgery , rather wait for some more time till resolve completely .
2nd question , recurs after surgery ?
If removed encapsulated ( completely ) and benign in nature , never recurs .
This depends upon you.
In my opinion in such cases consult at least three surgeons before surgery .
Good luck.
