I have a large number of painful lipomas (the lipomas are likely related to my diagnosis of MEN1) in my upper and lower abdomen and at the base of my rib cage. The surgeon I've seen suggested a panniculectomy, which would not take care of the lipomas higher up. She knows insurance won't pay for anything more than that but I want to know what would take care of it ALL. This causes me a lot of pain and infections. What surgeries would get rid of all three tiers, the lipomas and excess skin?
The general surgeon only does procedure at hospital and I have a lipoma midline region of scalp in the back. I have my first appointment with him but I would like to know the price range of the procedure done at hospital. I have insurance but I need to meet my deductible and I have to decide if to wait or just get it over with. Thanks
Several years ago I was told that the bumps on my body are lipomas and to leave them alone. My parents did not want to spend the money to remove them. I am now in my late 20's and have over 40 on my arms, legs, and abdomen. I don't need all of them removed but there are a handful that is causing pain and numbness in my arm. I need to know what type of doctor i should see to get these removed with insurance help and as little cost to me. At this point I am desperate....
I have a lipoma on the top of my right buttock (near the crack) about 1 inch in size and two growing above and below it that are less than 1cm each (three lipomas in total). The larger one I've had for several years but it has recently grown larger and has started to hurt when I sit down. There is pain in my buttock and occasionally the pain would shoot down my right leg. About how much would it be to get them removed? Would it be covered by insurance?
I dreaded getting this hump that seems to run in my mother family at the base of the neck that makes the neck look as if it is non existent from the back. I developed it in my early 20s (super self conscious as Im only 24)and it is causing strain and pain in my neck and shoulders and discomfort when wearing a supportive bra (Im too heavy as well). I have BCBSTX for insurance. Is this a lipoma? Should I have it removed? Will insurance cover this or what would it cost out of pocket? Thank you!
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?
