Facial Lipoma Next To Eye

a plastic surgeon  or an ENT (ear nose and throat ) who does facial procedures would be the best bet for the removal of the lipoma of a face.  a Cat scan could be beneficial in assessing the depth and difficulty of removing the lipoma. Also if near the parotid gland could help discern if it is a parotid tumor or not as well which you definitely need to know prior to removing a facial lipoma in that region..

also it is important to know whether the ent or plastic surgeon you choose do this type of procudure as some plastic surgeons may do mostly breast surgery or cancer reconstruction. this also holds true for ents who may only treat ear infections and tonsils for example. so you may have to do further research than just picking any plasic surgeon or ent doctor.

 

 

I agree that a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon would be the better choice.  The scar will be better but the main reason is that the tissue handling will be more delicate and the plastic surgeon is much more familiar with the anatomy of the facial nerve banches than the general surgoen.  By the way, many plastic surgeons are also Boarded in general surgery.
