If the lipoma is painful and bothering your dad, the most common treatment is surgical removal. This is typically done under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Recovery time is generally 2-3 weeks. Lipoma surgery cost can range from ‚Çπ12,500 to ‚Çπ15,000, depending on factors like the technique used and the surgeon's fees
