I ride a motorcycle and would like to know when I can put on my helmet without harm
That will depend on how large it is, and what your recovery is like.In general, for a small (1-2 cm or so) lipoma on the forehead, which is where they often occur, I would think that with a normal procedure and recovery you could wear a helmet within a week or so.However, the larger the lipoma is and, of course, if there are problems healing, the longer the recovery would be.You should speak with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can examine you in person and give you more specific advice and recommendations.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of #RealSelf100
