I am 5'6 145 lbs. im fairly content with my stomach. The only bulges that never go away, no matter how much weight I lose, are the love handles. Everything else on my body is just fine. So how much would Liposuction cost just for one area (love handles)? I know outside of NYC might be cheaper. I am willing to travel to a near state. The picture of me is 18 lbs ago. But those love handles are still there. Slightly less. Just a little idea.

$4000 is a great price for Liposuction of love handles

Love handles do so good with liposuction and usually run about $5750 but are on special for $4000 and this is the best method with the best results and safest which is the tumescent technique under local anesthesia with the microcanulas so NO general anesthesia and no big incision scars and back to work in 1-2 days. It is worth traveling to get it done right.

Make sure you're comfortable with your surgeon

The price ranges are pretty accurate. Make sure you're comfortable with your surgeon. See their results, etc. While there's not a lot of after care with lipo, I'd be careful about traveling too far. It is surgery and you should be close enough to get follow up easily when you need or want it. see video

Price of liposuction.

As you know prices vary according to the surgeon, the length of the procedure and the difficulty of the procedure. I would agree that somewhere between $4000 and $6500 is reasonable but some surgeons could charge more, especially if this is their area of expertise. It is good to know the approximate cost but I would strongly caution you against making a decision based on price. This is your body and your life. Look for Board Certified Plastic Surgeons who are recommended to you. ... more

Love handle liposuction

Depending on what is actually seen on physical exam, and if the problem extends all the way around your back or not the length of the operation may vary which can alter the fee. In general, fees vary depending on the expertise of the surgeon and as NYC is a mecca for cosmetic surgery, I think you would be foolish to travel elsewhere. My guess from the photo is that the fee could vary from $4,000 to $6,500 See the video link below before making your decision and remember, this is one area... more

Cost of liposuction in nyc

If you're healthy without significant medical problems then you're an ideal liposuction candidate because you're not overweight and you only have one focused area of fatty deposits. A physical exam is necessary but your youthful skin is elastic given your young age and will shrink nicely following liposuction. When inquiring about price you always have to ask about the breakdown. In the NYC area the surgeon's fee for one area liposuction is between $2500-4000. The OR facility fee and... more
