How do I get lipoma removed from temple?

I might have a lipoma on my temple. I am getting an MRI. The doctor said I should have a plastic surgeon remove it. I want to make sure there is no dent or strange shape after its removed. If its an experienced plastic surgeon will my temple look the same?

A: Lipoma

Usually it is best to excise these directly and not try and get them out by an incision in the hairline that results in more dissection and ultimately more distortion. By direct I mean incise directly over the lesion and remove it and close it. making the incision along certain lines will make them less obvious.

A: Recovery from lipoma in back

Hi Kelly, I can speak with personal authority.

I had a lipoma removed from the back of my neck (under the trapezius muscle).  I did very well, and back to work in a few days.

You need to wait to review the MRI results with your doctor, and he may put some restrictions on you, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Can I Have a Lipoma Removed at the Emergencey Room?

Can I have a Lipoma removed at the Emergencey Room? I had it diagnosed 8 years ago, and dont have a personal Dr. anymore.

A: Emergency lipoma removal?

Since a Lipoma removal is not an emergency it should not be removed in an ER setting. In today's ER's in a major city this would not be allowed. It was permitted 30 years ago in some hospitals but I do not think that it would be allowed today except perhaps in a smaller city and if it was prearranged.
