I had a lipoma removed on forehead almost 7 months ago. There is still a lump located around the scar where the lipoma was removed. Was told would go down after time though looking for advice?

Thank you for your post. Lipoma removal is relatively painless and most can be removed with local anesthesia in the office with return to work that day. Depending on the location and size, some time off from marathon training may be best so that your body can heal appropriately. I do not charge...
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....
Hello and thank you for your question. Presuming this is indeed a lipoma, this procedure could be done under local anesthetic. The cost for excision ultimately depends on the service provider, thus a detailed in person consultation by a board certified surgeon would be of great benefit to you.
