Skin Lump Surgery From Just $895

 

🐾 Noticed a new lump on your dog or cat?

It's worth getting checked — but there's no need to panic straight away.

The majority of skin lumps pet owners find are completely harmless. Some, though, will keep growing, become irritated, or occasionally turn out to be something more serious. The good news is that most lumps are far simpler to deal with while they're still small.

At South Brisbane Vet, our lump removal package is built around clear, upfront pricing, modern anaesthetic monitoring and proper pain management — so you know exactly what you're paying for before you commit to anything.

Whether it's a fatty lump (lipoma), wart, cyst, skin tag or another type of skin mass, our team is here to help.

⭐ Lump Removal Promotion

 

Clear, Size-Based Pricing — and how we compare

We price by size, not guesswork.

Our affordable pricing

🟢 SmallUncomplicated, generally under 1cm From $895

🟡 MediumUncomplicated, generally 1–2cm From $1,195

🔴 Large / Complex Uncomplicated but over 2cm From $1,495

Lumps that look suspicious on examination — including anything consistent with a mast cell tumour, anything fast-growing, firmly fixed to the tissue underneath, or in a spot that needs wider surgical margins — are quoted individually once your vet has assessed it, rather than at the flat rates above. This is about protecting your pet's outcome: some lumps genuinely need more tissue removed around them than our standard packages are designed for, and we'd rather price that properly than cut corners to fit a promotional rate.

More Than One Lump?

 

It's common for pets — especially as they get older — to develop more than one lump at a time. Rather than separate anaesthetics and separate bills, most owners choose to have everything removed in the one procedure.

Additional uncomplicated lump removal, done at the same time:

🟢 Small additional lump — From $200

🟡 Medium additional lump — From $300

Combining removals into one anaesthetic is usually the more economical route.

Want A Price Estimate Before You Book?

 

We can often give you a preliminary idea of pricing before your pet even comes in. Just email us:

📷 A clear close-up photo of the lump

📷 A second photo showing where it is on your pet's body

📷 Your pet's age and breed

📷 Roughly how long the lump has been there

We'll let you know which pricing tier your pet is likely to fall into. Final pricing is always confirmed after an in-person examination — depth, attachment and complexity aren't always clear from a photo alone.

Optional Extras

 

To keep our promotional pricing genuinely affordable, the following are optional and only recommended where clinically appropriate:

  • Pre-anaesthetic blood testing

  • Histopathology (laboratory testing)

We'll always talk these through with you, with pricing confirmed, before going ahead.

Why It's Worth Acting Early

 

Removing a lump while it's still small usually means:

✔ A more straightforward surgery

✔ A smaller wound

✔ Faster healing

✔ Less discomfort for your pet

✔ A better cosmetic result

✔ Earlier diagnosis, if it turns out to be something that needs it

Leaving a lump to grow can make surgery more complicated later — and more costly.

Lumps We Commonly Remove (at our standard flat-rate pricing)

  • Fatty lumps (Lipomas)

  • Sebaceous cysts

  • Sebaceous adenomas

  • Skin tags

  • Warts

  • Histiocytomas

  • Other benign-appearing soft tissue masses

Mast cell tumours and other lumps suspicious for malignancy on examination sit outside flat-rate pricing — see above.

"Is My Senior Pet Too Old For This?"

A question we hear often: "My dog is 13 — isn't anaesthesia risky at that age?"

Age on its own isn't a reason to avoid surgery. Plenty of senior dogs and cats go under anaesthetic safely every week. Where it's appropriate, we'll recommend pre-anaesthetic blood testing to check organ function first, so we can plan the safest anaesthetic for your individual pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is every lump cancer?

No. Most skin lumps are benign — but it's not always possible to tell just by looking at one.

Does every lump need to be removed? No. Some can simply be monitored over time, while others benefit from a Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA) or surgical removal. We'll help you work out the right path for your pet.

Can we remove more than one lump in the same procedure? Yes — many owners choose to have several lumps removed under the one anaesthetic, which saves on both cost and the number of procedures your pet goes through.

Is histopathology necessary every time?

Not always — but it's the only way to know exactly what a lump was and confirm it's been fully removed.

What happens if the lump turns out to be more complicated than expected? If your vet finds, once your pet is examined, that the lump is larger, more deeply attached, or looks suspicious for something like a mast cell tumour, we'll talk you through it and confirm pricing before doing anything beyond the standard package.

How long is my pet at the clinic for? Most pets come in in the morning and are ready to go home that same afternoon.

Ready To Book?

 

Found a lump on your dog or cat? Don't leave it wondering. Getting it checked early gives you peace of mind — and if surgery is needed, it's usually simpler and the recovery is quicker.

Terms & Conditions

Advertised prices apply to one uncomplicated superficial skin lump and are a guide only. Final pricing depends on the lump's size, location, depth and surgical complexity as assessed by one of our veterinarians. Lumps suspicious for malignancy (including possible mast cell tumours), fast-growing lumps, or lumps in surgically difficult locations sit outside flat-rate pricing and will be quoted individually. Pre-anaesthetic blood testing, Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA), histopathology and complex reconstructive procedures are not included. Additional uncomplicated lumps removed during the same anaesthetic are generally charged from $200–$300, depending on size.
