Why so few publish a price
Lipedema surgery is quoted per area and per session, and a full course averages two to three surgeries (Herbst et al., PRS Global Open 2021). A single published figure rarely describes a whole treatment, so most practices decline to publish one, and comparing practices on cost usually requires asking each one directly.
What a published price usually does not include
Anesthesia, facility fees, compression garments, and follow-up visits are frequently quoted separately. When a practice tells us what is included, it appears on that practice's page.
