Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur underneath the
skin. Most lipomas require surgical removal once they are bothersome. It is
important to make sure that the growth is not something else before assuming it
is a lipoma. There are many other subcutaneous nodules that mimic lipomas in
shape and size. Surgical removal of lipomas is relatively straightforward and
requires meticulous attention to detail. The first stage in improving your condition would be to
schedule a consultation to discuss your options after a complete examination is
made. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS

Prices vary widely from region to region, and even from doctor to doctor within a given region.  The fee for something like that in New York is generally in the range of $750-1500, depending on many factors, including where it's done (a procedure in a hospital or outpatient surgical facility is often more expensive than one done in a doctor's office).I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of RealSelf100
