Description
This 60-year-old gentleman came to our practice interested in treating his forehead bump. He had had this bump for several years, reporting it had grown slowly. He didn’t like its appearance and wanted it removed with as little scarring as possible. The patient denied tenderness, redness, drainage, headaches, or irritation of the bump.
Our facial plastic surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman diagnosed him with a lipoma (benign fatty growth), and removed the growth through a small incision in the patient’s naturally occurring forehead wrinkle. 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 just 1 month after surgery, with a great outcome and a smooth forehead contour. His scar is healing beautifully, and is difficult to find even after a relatively short healing time.
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.
