Age 42, strange mound of skin/fat, not interested in fillers as a fix

November 9, 2023
Asked By:Beautiful41860 in Brothers, Oregon

Hi and thanks for your time. I am in great distress over this bump that makes my face look like melting wax. I have been told by good surgeons that I'm not a candidate for a FL yet, which is fine bc I'm not sure I want one. But I hide my face with my hair and avoid socializing. Can this bump just be excised, leaving a small scar? I'm okay with a scar.. If so, how does one find a dr willing to do such an unorthodox procedure, and what is that procedure called? Thanks
