There is no fixed cost for any kind of surgery anywhere in India. Surgeries not covered by insurance lack pricing standardization, causing a lot of trouble for customers. The cost of lipoma surgery ranges from INR 10,000 to INR 1 lakh, depending on where you choose to get your lipoma removed. Hospitals may be more expensive compared to clinics due to higher overhead costs, such as large spaces, higher electricity bills, and more expensive doctors.
Service providers determine the price based on cost, adding a profit margin to this cost.
Understanding the cost structure is essential:
Assuming the cost for a minor surgery is INR 700 - INR 1,000, the breakdown might look like this:
Based on internal decisions, providers will apply their profit margins on top of this cost to give you the final price.
The major costs like material and support staff generally stay similar across the industry. Price differences come from three components:
Lipoma removal is a minor surgery. For minor surgeries, paying higher costs doesn't make sense. You can choose:
In addition to surgery costs, there would be additional costs that you would incur with other clinics or hospitals.
People with genetic predisposition to lipomas can get multiple lipomas. You can choose to remove only those in visible areas or those that are bothersome. Smart Surgeons offers a multiple lipomas package to help you make an informed decision.
Smart Surgeons is a general surgeon-led, clinic-based model that optimizes the cost components of the surgery. We focus on minor surgeries, which helps us lower overhead costs while providing a safe environment. We aim to transfer these cost benefits to our patients, who no longer have to postpone their minor surgeries due to cost.
All other service providers will charge for the following in addition to surgery cost:
Smart Surgeons offers a cost advantage even in additional costs:
Lipomas can recur especially if some part of the lipoma was left out. This can happen when dealing with critical areas like the neck or face. To address this, we created the Smart Surgeons guarantee program, where we remove recurred lipomas in the same place without extra cost. This is not offered by anyone else in Hyderabad. If you have a recurring lipoma problem due to genetic predisposition, you can talk to our counselor about managing this long-term cost.
Unfortunately, no. Lipoma removal is not covered by insurance anywhere in the world because it is considered a cosmetic procedure. Health insurance operates by pooling premiums to cover essential medical treatments and surgeries. Since lipoma removal is not deemed medically necessary, it is excluded from coverage along with other cosmetic surgeries.
You may also incur additional diagnostic costs, such as biopsy charges, and yet your claim could be rejected.
Your service provider plans to not tell the insurance company that this was a lipoma removal in the first place. Your service provider is planning to show this surgery as some kind of tumor removal. To prove this, he will ask you to pay additional costs like biopsy after the surgery to support this false claim that this was a suspected tumor. There are 2 possible outcomes:
So it is up to you whether you would like to take the risk of additional cost or forgo the benefits for a small surgery like lipoma removal?
Yes, there is a zero cost EMI option available which is particularly useful for those with multiple lipomas. Third-party financing companies help reduce the cost burden. For example:
If the total cost is INR 1,00,000 and you choose a 10-month EMI plan:
After your consultation, you can discuss financing options with our counselor to plan your surgery effectively.
