Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia. We would have to remove the lipoma to be sure that it is not something else and we usually do this by sending it to a pathologist for evaluation. If a lipoma is painful, then an exam is needed to make sure it is not compressing on a nerve or whether the diagnosis is different. Aftercare for a lipoma includes gentle compression and Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily on the wound. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
I highly recommend that you have a plastic surgeon remove the lipoma because it is in a cosmetic sensitive area. Best of luck to you
Many thanks for your question. Be sure to see a specialist in person to make a clinical diagnosis of your forehead swelling. If it is a lipoma I would advise removal by a specialist experienced in operating in this cosmetically sensitive area. All the best! Jonathan Adamthwaite
I would recommend seeing a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon to remove the lipoma on your forehead.
Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. I would strongly advocate for a plastic surgeon to remove this lipoma. An incision can be well hidden in your hairline and the lipoma removed to leave you with no visible scar. Hope this helps.
