Plastic surgery can be effective in improving the appearance and functionality of deep burn scars, although it won't fully remove them. It can reduce the size, depth, and prominence of scars, and help restore functionality if the scar is constricting movement. The specific procedures used will depend on the location, size, and depth of the scars, as well as the patient's individual goals

I've been told that lipomas can't be treated with just meds and mine is right in the middle of my forehead. The doc mentioned surgery could be risky are there any other options I could explore?

Lipomas on the forehead typically require surgery, but if your doctor is concerned about the risks, other options like liposuction or steroid injections could be discussed. A second opinion could help clarify if surgery is necessary.
