Got a 11K Quote for Cellulaze??

By Lotsalipo on 28 Jun 2012

Hi there, I'm in San Diego and I went to the only doctor who does it here. So far, he said he's done a handful (mostly his staff). I need the front, back, some of the side and half of my butt done. The gave me a quote of 11K (they said down from 15K). Is this completely ridiculous? I know I have a lot of areas, but still. I'm 5'7", 135 lbs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I also have a consult with Dr. Petti in Torrance and will be scheduling one with Dr. Springer soon. xx, Lotsalipo

Again the disposables from Cynosure are very costly. From you slight description I believe the hard CELLULAZE costs are 2 fibers ($600), 2 Thermaguides/1 Smart Sense ($2,000), rental fee of the unit ($500) = $3,100. Than OR expenses about $1,000, anesthesia costs $1,000. So before the doc gets started the out of pocket expenses/costs run around $5,000+++. Add his fee which should double the costs another $5,000 gets you to $10,000. So the $11K quote even discounted sounds in line. Yes the CELLULAZE is very cost expensive. If you wish to forward photos to me than I can quote you more specifically . Regards BTW I would wait til he has more experience or use another certified CELLULAZE doc.
