I'm 23 and I have some fat deposits on my forehead. Can they be removed by Liposuction?

I suggest posting photos.  Forehead liposuction is not the best idea given there is very little fat in this area and very important structures such as blood vessels and nerves that can easily get damaged with that type of procedure.  Best, Dr. Emer.

This would be extremely rare to consider this option on the forehead.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I've never seen the patient that was candidate for liposuction of the forehead. An occasional lipoma is seen but not areas of fat storage.

Liposuction is not recommended on the forehead for the reasons my colleagues have noted in their responses. Without photos, it is not possible to answer. It is possible that what you have are lipomas, however, an in-person evaluation by a Board Certified facial plastic surgeon is recommended.Karen Singer, M.D., P.A.Harvard GraduateBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Some photographs of the puffy areas on your forehead would be helpful to evaluate the problem. Fatty lumps in the forehead are usually removed with a minor surgical procedure, not liposuction. Liposuction is not usually performed in the forehead, not least because there are important nerves and blood vessels that could be injured.

Thanks for writing,Without photos it is impossible to answer. That being said the answer is probably no. You may have fatty deposits that would do well with limited excisions. I would obtain a consult with a chirurgien plastique who can help you understand you options.Bonne ChanceStephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery
