Did anyone here have their budgerigar's lipoma removed successfully?

So, over the course of months, I've realized that one of my budgie's lipoma has actually grown by a small margin, even though I feed her the vet prescribed seed mix, along with vegetables. Our vet said that surgical removal of her lipoma was extremely risky for an animal her size, but I'm wondering just how risky it is and if anyone on this site had it removed with success. In any case, I most likely won't get it removed, because of the risks.

I found this article...

Tumors - Lipomas in Birds | VCA Animal Hospitals

Lipomas are benign fat tumors commonly found in Budgies, some Amazon parrots, galahs and sulphur crested cockatoos. They are most often found under the skin on the sternum (breastbone or keel bone) or on the ventral abdomen, but can be anywhere on the body.
