I loss the sensation from the top of my scale after moving a lipoma on top my eyebrow. The nerve affected is more likely the supra-orbital nerve. If I puss down on the bottom side of the incision site, I could feel the top of my scalp as if being scratched. So is my nerve damage permanent? I just has surgery in the last two days, so what should I do.
Answer: Will improve with time Thanks for your question. This is a question that we get asked often by our patients. This side effect from surgery should have been discussed with you and most cases is temporary but can take up to 1 year to resolve. If it is persistent or you are worried, set up a follow up appointment with your dermatologist.

Answer: Lipoma Forehead Only your surgeon can tell if the nerve was damaged. However almost all lipomas of the forehead are below the frontalis muscle where the nerves reside. Working around these nerves and stretching can cause the nerve to stop working for some time. Since these nerves branch to many branches the sensation comes back in most of the time. It nay take up to one year to come back. Follow up with your surgeon and follow his recommendations
