A lipoma removal is a minor surgical procedure used to remove a lipoma, which is a non-cancerous lump made up of fatty tissue beneath the skin. It's one of the most common minor surgical procedures in the UK, often performed when a lipoma becomes uncomfortable, grows in size or causes cosmetic concerns.
What moves the price
What’s being treatedSize, number and type of lesions drive the cost - one small removal is far cheaper than several or a large area.
Method usedSurgical excision, cryotherapy, laser or a shave removal each price differently, and some need lab analysis.
Clinic & specialistA consultant dermatologist in a major city charges more than a GP-led clinic.
Consultation & histologyThe initial consultation and sending tissue to a lab for testing are often added on top of the removal.
A lipoma removal in the UK typically costs £295–£1,250, with a median of £495 based on 7 clinics we track. Your exact price depends on the clinic and the complexity of your case.
Why do prices vary so much?
