Lipomas

Ive had a consultation with the plastic surgeon here in Wellington, NZ. The doctor had a look at it and said that Id be on the waiting list to get it done. Sadly the next week I received a letter saying that Im not important enough to do which is fair enough. I know that others needs are important to see to but Im quite conscious about it and I dont like where it is. Self conscious and sometimes low self esteem, Ive been told I could do privately.....How much would it cost do you think???
Ive never really taken notice to it thinking that it was just a muscle gone wrong. Ive looked Lipomas up online and saw that mine could be angiolipomas...is there any danger to the blood vessels?

Removal of the lipomas, even angiolipomas, are not a problem.  It would not be possible to estimate what it would cost in NZ for the removal.  You best option is to wee a private plastic surgeon to determine cost.
