I first noticed this in 2017 and it started off small but as time has passed by I noticed how much larger it’s gotten . I desperately want to get this removed as it’s affected my self confidence and haven’t properly taken a picture without covering my face . I don’t have insurance and would love an estimate so I can start saving up for a procedure.
Answer: Mass Excision Hello and thank you for your question. Presuming this is indeed a lipoma, this procedure could be done under local anesthetic. The cost for excision ultimately depends on the service provider, thus a detailed in person consultation by a board certified surgeon would be of great benefit to you.

Answer: Starting price fr a lipoma removal would be about $900, price varies on size and location of the lipoma Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia. We would have to remove the lipoma to be sure that it is not something else and we usually do this by sending it to a pathologist for evaluation. If a lipoma is painful, then an exam is needed to make sure it is not compressing on a nerve or whether the diagnosis is different. Aftercare for a lipoma includes gentle compression and Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily on the wound. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: How much would it cost to get a 4cmx3m lipoma removed? Hello, Thank you for your question. Based on your photo, you would benefit from excision of the mass which is likely a lipoma. The incision can be hidden within hairline to minimize scarring on the forehead. The cost of lipoma removal (OOP) varies but can be around $1500-2000, and in your case can be performed under local anesthesia. I would seek an in-person evaluation by a board-certified Plastic Surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz.

Answer: Procedure cost Hello Vanenes. Often a simple lipoma can be removed in the office or clinic setting under local anesthesia. This greatly reduces the cost of the procedure. If you require sedation or general anesthesia, these will incrementally increase costs along with any facility fees incurred. I would recommend contacting your local plastic surgeon's office and discussing cash pay rates. This will vary significantly based on geographic region, surgeon experience and practice setting. Since the lipoma is located on your face, it is particularly important to choose an experienced surgeon that is board certified in plastic surgery or facial plastic surgery. Finally, sometimes discounts are offered for paying in full. If the price tag is too steep, there are also financing options available through companies such as CareCredit.
