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.

My forehead's middle part started to grow about 10 years ago. Back then it was normal, but around 5 years ago it suddenly started growing, and now, thankfully, it's stopped. The growth is mostly on the anterior wall, though my skull hasn't shifted or anything like that. It's not causing me any issues, but honestly, I'm really bothered by how it looks and I want to fix it. What can I do about this?

Usually that could be Lipoma ,but detailed evaluation is required,visit surgeon for appropriate management

I've had gynecomastia in both sides of my chest for the past 4 years. A doctor in Allahabad recommended liposuction but I'm not sure about the total cost of the surgery. Can you give me an estimate? Also, is liposuction the best option for my condition or are there other treatments I should consider?

The estimated cost for gynecomastia surgery (liposuction and/or gland excision) in India can range from ‚Çπ60,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000, depending on the specific procedure and the surgeon's expertise. Liposuction is often used in conjunction with gland excision for optimal results, as it addresses both fat and glandular tissue
