Affordable Liposuction/laser Lipo in Nc?

I live in raleigh, but am willing to travel. i'm looking to getting liposuction done before summer, but only have about $3000 to spend. I definitely want to get my upper arms and armpit areas done, but would also like to get my outer thighs and abdomin done as well. I thought about getting laser lipo because it's cheaper, but reviews say it doesnt show much difference. what do you think?

Liposuction, do you really need it ?+ avoid minimalists techniques..

You appear to have a beautiful figure.  Forget about liposuction.  Use the $3000 for a gym and trainer and lose a few lbs and you will need zero lipo.  I have done over 3600 patients and 17000 areas so my experience is vast.  You look great.  Forget liposuctioon.  Yes, the laser stuff is for minimalists.  If expectations are low, then and only then will the laser stuff please one.  The Ultrasonic (Vaser) works as does plain old liposuction. ... more

Affordable liposuction

I doubt that you will be able to find someone who is Board Certified and experienced who can do liposuction of the arms, abdomen and thighs for $3000. However, it is possible that 1 or 2 of these areas could be done as an office procedure using only the tumescent technique (which would eliminate the OR costs). As for Laser or Smart Lipo, it is more expensive, takes more time to do and the results are no better.

Liposuction in Raleigh, NC

The price of liposuction surgery generally has very little to do with the technology that is being used. The primary factor that influences price is the training, skill and experience of the surgeon.

Liposuction, you deserve a good result and it doesn't come from a good price necessarily

You are requesting an elective cosmetic surgical treatment that has risks and can produce a result with which you're unhappy. It is extremely important to meet with a  board-certified physician who is very experienced in performing liposuction.  If you sacrifice quality for price, you may end up with a problem for which you will need to undergo multiple costly revisions. You may have to settle for only doing one area until, in the future, you can afford to have additional areas... more

Liposuction in North Carolina

The best place to start in terms of finding a plastic surgeon would be to go to the ASPS or ASAPS website and find one in your area.  $3000 for all those areas even in North Carolina is probably not enough money.

Affordable Liposuction/laser Lipo in Nc?

You are a little short as the fee for arms, upper/lower abdomen and outer thighs  (forget the armpits). In MIAMI I would charge $4800. So if you can find a fee in NC for $4,000 to $5,000 I would take it. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski
