Prices not only vary by region but from surgeon to surgeon. One of the main reasons for the differences is the experience of the surgeon. Because of a great influx of laser and other types of liposuction devices promising easier fat removal with less tissue injury that any physician can purchase, there are now a large number of physicians with little or no training doing liposuction. Some of these will charge low fees to gain the experience. Many do the procedure in a poorly equipped office to “save money.” The truth is that these devices do not make anyone a good surgeon. Liposuction is a major procedure that carries significant risks, even death. To do the procedure and get a really good result with minimal problems and risks with a fast recovery takes years of experience. I have been doing it since it was first introduced into this country, and I still find it a challenge, mainly because everyone is different. Additionally, it should be done in a fully equipped facility with all the equipment necessary for safety. What you need to do is find a good Plastic Surgeon with whom you can relate and with significant experience in Liposuction who will take the time to find out what you want to achieve, and who does the procedure in a fully accredited facility. The cost among this group in your area is very similar. Instead of asking price, ask how long they have been doing Liposuction, how much they have done, what problems they have had and where they do the procedure.
