I've noticed a small lipoma on my forehead that's been growing over time and is now pretty noticeable. It doesn't hurt but bothers me cosmetically. Can you tell me roughly how much surgical removal might cost and whether it could come back after surgery? Also would there be any visible scars left behind?

I have a weird issue where there's a lot of fat only in my left chest but my right chest is totally normal. My BMI is fine, I even have visible abs, so it's not a general fat problem. I've tried medicines to dissolve the fat but nothing worked. Could this be a hormonal imbalance? I'm desperate to fix this, even if it means surgery what options do I have?

FNAC of that fat deposit should be done to rule out any malignant disease. If it's only Lipoma, than it can be surgically removed by a small operation. That's it
