I have this fat pad on my sacrum and it seems to be growing bigger, and getting uncomfortable and painful although I live a healthy life style. I’m 18 years old. Differences after lipo?

Answer: Liposuction Rarely Covered By Insurance SaraI appreciate your concerns and discomfort, however liposuction is rarely covered by insurance, even if used to alleviate pain in the area treated. Your area of lipodystrophy is fairly common and easily treated with traditional liposuction. Costs vary from city to city, however one area of liposuction usually runs between $3000 and $5000 in the New York City region. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for a full evaluation. Good luck.

Answer: Sacral fat pad Thank you for your photo. Unfortunately insurance will not cover liposuction of the fat pad. It is best to have an in-office evaluation to get an accurate quote of the price of your surgery. Since the area does not appear to be very large, you should expect a lower price than the average body liposuction. It will also depend on the type and time of anesthesia which you will need. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MDBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
