View allI've got multiple lipomas in my hands and legs and need surgery to remove them. Did some research and feel ready, but a surgeon at a big hospital quoted 2.5k per lipoma. Wondering if there are better options out there maybe a dermatologist could do it for less? What's the usual cost for this?
Newer treatments for lipomas include High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and injection lipolysis (dissolving injections), offering non-surgical alternatives to traditional surgical removal or liposuction. Cryotherapy is also an emerging treatment using extreme cold to destroy fat cells in the lipoma
