Lipoma removal on my forehead, horizontal cut VS vertical cut? Surgeon VS Dermatologist who deals with cancer? (photo)

July 18, 2017
Asked By:markis333 in Saint Petersburg, FL

the Surgeon wants to do a Horizontal cut on my forehead and said it has to be done in the hospital. and stated that there can be permanent nerve damage and my eye could possible droop. the Dermatologist said to do a vertical cut from my forehead to just above my eye lid, as a Horizontal cut would cause my right eye brow to be pulled up permanently. since the Lipoma may be attached to my scull there is a possibility that i could lose feeling in part of my forehead . any advise how to proceed
