Posted under Lipoma Removal q&a

I am looking into getting a lipoma removal and was wondering about the cost of the procedure?

h.a.1
I have multiple lipomas all over my body, around 2 dozen (most small pebble-sized, 1-2 others larger) mainly on my back, butt, bikini line, & underarms. I would like to get all of them removed at the same time. I have Molina insurance but all the doctors I've visited in the past have told be it's not covered as it's considered cosmetic surgery due to the lipomas not being life-threatening. How much would it cost overall, consultation, anesthesia, lipoma removal, etc. without insurance?
