Definitely in the "everything else" category: can anyone recommend a hospital or clinic in BKK for lipoma removal? I was quoted 45k by one hospital, was expecting something much less. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post seeks recommendations for hospitals or clinics in Bangkok for lipoma removal, mentioning an initial quote of 45,000 THB. The comments discuss varying prices, with one user highlighting a successful and cost-effective removal at St. Louis Hospital for 7,400 THB, advising to avoid cosmetic surgery departments for lower costs.

Had it done at St. Louis this morning, walk-in. Absolutely first rate hospital, procedure took less than 30 mins. In and out in 75. Total cost 7,400 including meds and 2 follow up appointments. Beautiful service.

Ok got 7k price from St. Louis Hospital, that's more like it. The trick is to avoid getting steered toward cosmetic surgery department (price is 5x - 10x higher)

Well got a price of 25k at another hospital....and that is for plastic surgeon who I don't really need cause don't care about the scar.

I spent less than 5000 (I think it was even less but I don’t remember) to get a 3cm lipoma on the thigh removed and stitched up at a normal clinic last year, but not in Bangkok. I would contact smaller medical clinics and doctors rather than just hospitals to check around.

thanks that's more like it. Mine is the size of a grape, on my rib cage. My Toronto DR told me it should be easy to remove because he could "get underneath it", meaning it's not fused to the tissue. I also don't care about the scare so no need for expensive plastic surgeon. I think 45k is more of a tourist price. Yes will look for smaller clinics with low overhead

45K appears reasonable to me. Inexpensive.

you might be right....I googled and found forum posts with costs as low as 10-15k, but most were 8-10 years ago. On the other hand it's a 30 minute out patient procedure, so thought maybe there are small surgery clinics that may be cheaper than hospitals
