1.5" Diameter Lipoma Center Forehead.
Dermatologist sent me to Plastic Surgeon who says I need to have head shaved and an insertion made in hairline to remove lipoma. Another Dermatologist told me to have the tissue liposuctioned. Thanks. Dan

Answer: Lipotoma Hello,Lipoma removal on the scalp can be removed and is not dangerous if it is in fact a lipoma. Rare cases of fatty tumors have been described. Most often it is removed under local anesthesia comfortably and best to have a lipoma removed with a minimal incision. Best, Anil Shah

Answer: Forehead Lipoma?
Thank you for the question and picture.
Direct excision of the lipoma with a transverse incision above the lesion is a relatively straightforward procedure. I would agree that it is your best interests to have it directly excised as opposed to having liposuctioning performed.
Best wishes.
