What kind of Doctor should remove a head lipoma?

bjkrejcha
I went to a dermatologist to have a cyst removed from my head. It turned out to be a lipoma instead. He said it was much bigger then he thought and was not sure how big it actually was. He removed some of it to be tested. He said that it totally infiltrated by scalp and hair roots. He had never seen anything like it. He referred me to ENT because the pain has come back. But ENT said they could not help and sent me to plastics. I have an appointment set but is plastics right?
