How much would it cost for lipoma on forehead?

Thank you for the question. 

When it comes to cost of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure ( quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find average costs of surgery listed on this website, and on individual plastic surgeon's websites as well.



In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. 

 

I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways.  I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

Costs vary widely from region to region, and even within a specific area depending on specifics of the surgery (surgeon, facility fee, etc).My fee for a small lipoma of the forehead is normally $750-1000, depending exactly on what is involved.  Larger growths, scar tissue, deeper, etc increase the complexity of the procedure and, therefore, some of the costs associated with doing it.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of #RealSelf100@RealSelf
