Description
This 40-year-old man came to our practice interested in removing his large right scalp forehead bump. He was bothered by the appearance of this painless bump, and wanted it removed for cosmetic reasons and with as little visible scarring as possible. He had a previous biopsy, which showed benign findings.
Our facial plastic surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman diagnosed the patient with a likely forehead lipoma after doing a thorough physical exam and ultrasound imaging. Dr. Fishman removed the growth through a small incision in the patient’s scalp hair so as to eliminate the chance of visible scarring on his face. The patient had his surgery in the comfort of our clinic, while awake and relaxed with by-mouth relaxing medications and laughing gas. He is shown 4 months after surgery, with great outcome and essentially invisible scarring that is well-hidden by her scalp hair.
Forehead lipomas and osteomas are common at our practice, and patients travel out of state and the country to seek Dr. Fishman’s expertise and experience treating them. We aim for great outcomes, invisible scarring, and a wonderful experience in treating facial lipomas and osteomas at Aviva Plastic Surgery.
