I have a lipoma on my temple. The thought of a bunch of local anesthetic to my head is not really appealing and makes me very nervous.
Answer: Your options That is a location where not only would you be more comfortable, but depending on the exact location there is a small nerve that traverses the area. The surgeon would appreciate a still patient to dissect out the nerve.

Answer: Lipoma on the Temple This can easily be accomplished as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia. If you strongly prefer general anesthesia, check with your surgeon to see if he/she is amenable to doing the procedure this way.

Answer: Anesthesia options for lipoma removal on temple I would normally remove a lipoma on the temple in the office with just local anesthesia. I have never had a patient have a problem with this type of anesthesia for this procedure in the past. Having a general anesthesia for this procedure is not necessary, and it would also substantially increase the cost. Even when a general anesthesia is used for a surgical procedure, local anesthetic is normally used to help with pain and bleeding. The amount of local anesthetic needed would be relatively small for this procedure.
