Lipoma removal surgery costs vary, ranging from ‚Çπ25,000 to ‚Çπ1,00,000 in India, depending on the procedure, location, and surgeon. The surgery usually involves a local anesthetic injection to numb the area, followed by an incision, removal of the lipoma, and stitching of the wound. While some home remedies and treatments, like steroid injections, may help shrink lipomas, they are not a guaranteed solution and may have side effects

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm really worried because I had surgery about a year ago for a pilonidal sinus, and now the wound just won't heal. It's been at least 90 days since it stopped showing any signs of improvement. Can you give me some advice or suggestions on what to do?
