Forehead osteomas and lipomas represent a common benign lesion found on the forehead. When visible, it can be distressing to the patient. While there are a variety of methods to remove these lesions, endoscopic approach with a single incision is the best. I utilize a small incision with specialized instruments specific for osteoma removal of the forehead, which allows me to perform this procedure comfortably in an in-office setting.

It needs to be evaluated whether your bump is due soft tissue mass (lipoma, forehead cyst) or due to bone growth. An x-ray would be a good starting point.
