Prices Published Up Front

You can see what removal costs before you book, and your price is confirmed at your consultation before anything is done.

Why Two Lesions Can Cost Differently

Dr. Hayward confirms the price for your lesion at your consultation.

Size and Depth

A small, superficial lesion is a simpler procedure than a larger or deeper one that needs surgical excision and sutures.

Location

Lesions on the face or other visible areas call for extra care in incision placement and closure to minimize scarring.

Complexity

Cysts that are large, inflamed or have come back, and lipomas that sit deeper, can take longer than a straightforward removal.

Number of Lesions

Several lesions are priced together as a group, not at the full individual rate for each one.
