Can You Remove a Forehead Lipoma Through the Scalp or Hairline to Hide the Scar? I had a head injury when I was 14, now 21 I still have what I researched to be a Lipoma. It is rather small but I was considering having it removed by a plastic surgeon. It is only about half an inch below my hairline and I was curious to know if the incision can be made where the hair grows to mask the scar. Thanks!

A: Hairline incisions

The answer is yes, you can camoflage the incision if it's only a half an inch away. Lipomas are pretty straightforward to dissect and remove, and can be approached through small incisions. Liposuction can also be used for very select lesions, although I suspect not for this size and site. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
