$10,000 for Liposuction of Lower Abdomen and Flanks, Does this Seem Right?

March 24, 2012
Asked By:Nattasha0991

I am 5'8", 140-145 pounds and in my mid 20's. I am very active & eat healthily however I have a lower tummy bump/love handles I can't get rid of. I had a consultation with a doctor I really liked, however they quoted me $9850. I was under the impression since I was in good shape and the fat was localized that it would not be this expensive. However I did really like the doctor. Any advice would be appreciated!
