In general can I expect a picture at least of the lipoma to be taken for me?

Question

I am also concerned about pain/scarring relating to delay and have a lot of these on my body internally along with arm. THe arm I am concerned about circulation for recently as it felt funny when I checked anticipating an IV during colonoscopy I was awake for entirely BTW. IT should be standard to offer a picture of the removed lump and I still don't know what the camera used looked like in the COlonoscopy. THe pain of future surgeries intimidates.

Thank you for your post. Lipoma removal is relatively painless and most can be removed with local anesthesia in the office. The cost of surgical removal will vary from region to region, and a good estimate can be found on Real-self which states the average cost is around $1600. It is best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to review your options and treatment plan. There are several photos of what happens during removal on my website as well as IG. Hope this helps.
