This 42-year-old woman was bothered by a small, soft bump at her central forehead. Dr. Fishman removed it via a small surgical procedure, removing what turned out to be a lipoma (a benign fatty growth) through an incision in the patient’s hair-bearing scalp. The patient’s procedure was carried out in the office, with the patient awake and relaxed with laughing gas. She is shown 4 months after treatment.
