I just noticed that the area where the lipoma before was attached to my skin, I mean the skin in my forehead is sticking to my skull or the area where the lipoma is before. it's not moving along with the skin of my forehead. i wonder if it normal or should is there something I worry about.
Answer: Stuck Forehead Scar Scar adhesions can be common after surgery. Try scar massage to the area 2x daily for 5-10 minutes each with some skin lotion/moisturizer. This can help to soften and mobilize the scar. Time will also help, but massage tends to speed the process

Answer: Removed lipoma attached my skin in the forehead to my skull Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. If you have just recently had surgery you should find that with additional time this area will take on a similar skin quality as the remainder of your forehead and face. Allow your results more time to mature and if you do not see significant improvement, talk to your surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Prevention and Correction of Deformities after Removal of Lipomas - Surgery Techniques, Fat Injections & Dermal Fat Grafts When lipomas are removed there is a void--an empty space that should be filled. A plastic surgeon utilizes techniques like "undermining" and "multilayered suturing" in order to pull the deeper layers over the bare bone and fill in the deficit. Usually these techniques fill the hole in very well and allow for normal movement and appearance of the overlying skin. When the deeper tissues (fat, muscle, fascia) are pulled together they act as a "spacer" that prevents the skin from sticking down to the bone. Unfortunately, not everyone heals the same, and sometimes the sutures don't hold or the deeper tissues tear and retract, leaving a depression, and without the spacer the skin may stick down to the bone.
