I have this from last one and half year. Now I want it to be removed . Should I consult a general surgeon or plastic surgeon. Is there a need to visit neurologist .
Answer: Lipoma on temple The mass you have on your temple could be addressed by a number of different specialists, including ENT, General Surgery, Dermatology, or Plastic Surgery. Plastic surgeons tend to focus on giving you the nicest scar, so if it was my face, I would seek a Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: An experience plastic surgeon who specializes in lipoma removals would be best 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. We would have to remove the lipoma to be sure that it is not something else and we usually do this by sending it to a pathologist for evaluation. If a lipoma is painful, then an exam is needed to make sure it is not compressing on a nerve or whether the diagnosis is different. Aftercare for a lipoma includes gentle compression and Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily on the wound.

Answer: Which surgeon to consult for mass on temple? The mass on your temple could be a lipoma or a cyst. An examination could easily determine if it is one or the other, but either way, it can be surgically removed. I would recommend seeing a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon to give you the best result.
