WORTH IT
Dr. Hsiao is very nice and professional but also down to earth. I think a sign of a good doctor is he/she telling you what could possibly go wrong. Run the other way if a surgeon tells you "this will be so easy, no problems at all" because that isn't ever the case in life. In just meeting with Dr. Hsiao one time I'm confident he'll be a great choice for this minor surgery. I asked him why he couldn't just pop out my lipoma like Dr. Pimple Popper does and he had some great reasons why that wouldn't medically be the best choice for both him and me. I'll post photos when it's removed. He measured it at 6cm and it's on my upper right arm.

I believe I have one behind my right bicep as it hurts when I'm trying to put deodorant on my left armpit .

Omgosh! Good luck! Please post after pics and your experience. I live in the Indy area and need to get this done. I have one in each arm pit. Very curious how it works out for you. Thanks!

One day after surgery

Surgery was yesterday, 7.29.2016. There were a few issues with scheduling but I still got it done on the day intended. Everyone at Community South Surgery center was so caring. A nurse brought by two movie passes to apologize for the scheduling issue that happened on the morning of surgery. My husband said it lasted 45 minutes and Dr Hsaio came out and talked to him. I asked DrHsaio to remove the lipomas in my upper thigh as well. The ones on my leg were smaller and not encapsulated like the one in my arm so my leg hurts today. He prescribed pain medicine but I haven't taken it. I took 800mg ibuprofen this morning. All in all, no complaints so far.

If you don't mind me asking how much was the total cost?

I had already met my deductible for this year so out of pocket I paid $301. My insurance was billed for MUCH more than that...some for the office visit, over $500 for the surgery, some $ to the anesthesiologist.
Thank you for your post! Yes, please do post photos when you can!
I have to ask, why can't the lipoma be "popped" out? I've often wondered that myself and thought it was because the possibility of infection.
