I've noticed these lipomas under my skin some are as big as small lemons and others like groundnuts. They're bothering me, and I'm thinking about getting them removed surgically. What kind of specialist should I see for this, and what should I expect from the procedure?

Is there a way to fix facial asymmetry without surgery, especially around the eyes and jaw? My facial muscles feel weak what type of specialist should I see for this?

Yes, facial asymmetry can often be addressed non-surgically, especially for milder cases around the eyes and jaw. If you suspect facial muscle weakness, a specialist in facial paralysis or a dermatologist with expertise in non-surgical cosmetic treatments should be consulted.
