How much does laser surgery for a mucocele typically cost when you have insurance?

I have a small bluish colored bump on the outer portion of my lower lip. It comes up for about 1-2 weeks at a time. I believe it is a mucocele. It goes away for a week or two, but it comes back very quickly. I feel like it is always there so I am considering treatment. I read that laser therapy is the most effective means of treatment. How much does this treatment usually cost if I have insurance?

That lump might be an enlarged bartholin gland, but it would require direct examination and palpation to confirm. If the bartholin duct was transected at surgery, the gland will not drain on it's own. If it enlarges further, it will place tension on the labiaplasty scar and interfere with...
