Has anyone heard of multiple lipomas occurring on the forehead? I am concerned that I will need multiple incisions.

Asked By:StellaBlue5 in Malibu, California

I had a lipoma removed from my forehead and the doctor said it was more gangly in appearance that encapsulated. Now I have at least two more on my forehead above my eyebrows. Could these all be one stringy lipoma? I am afraid of multiple incisions/scarring. Is frequent liposuction something that could be a consideration? I hope I could get a good photo. The angle/light makes it difficult to pick up the lumps. THANK YOU! Any info/thoughts would be so greatly appreciated.
