California Liposculpting Estimates
As you may have guessed, liposuction fees vary a lot and rarely will you get a quote over the phone because so many variables are involved. It depends on the size of the area and the amount of anticipated work to do the job as well as the technique involved. The tumescent technique with micro canulas give by far the best results and are worth the extra cost of the procedure.

Cost of Liposuction
The cost of liposuction depends on the number of areas involved. The more areas that require surgery, the higher the cost.
At The Plastic Surgery Clinic, the basic fee for liposuction is $5900. Each additional area is $1000 more. So for example liposuction of the tummy and both hips would cost $6900. Make sure your quoted fee includes the surgical fee, anesthesia fee, surgical facility fee and all follow up.

How Much Does Liposuction Cost?
Use cost as the last deciding factor in choosing your surgeon. The very expensive plastic surgeons are not necessarily the best. This is the order in which I recommend you ought to make your choice:
1. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
2. At least 5 years of independent experience in this procedure with consistently good results and very low revision rate. You should ask for this information right out. The right surgeon would not be offended by you asking for this information....

Liposuction and Cost
The cost of liposuction surgery is usually dependent on several factors: the surgeon's fee, the operating room, the anesthesia, and the number of areas being treated. The cost of liposuction also varies from city to city. Though the price is very important in a patient's decision to have surgery, it is always important to find the right surgeon for you. If you look hard enough, you can always find cheap surgery. However, that may not be the right choice.

Liposuction prices are different for different surgeons
Unfortunately cost is one of those things that is all over the board.
First, depending on where you live determines what the market will bear - NY is more expensive than Omaha.
Next the cost of the facility where it is done differs.
Age and experience of the surgeon may be a factor.
Next, area vs time.
Finally, the most important, surgeon ego plays a big roll.
For example, for me, liposuction of the abdomen, at a hospital, would run approximately $3800-$4100. For others this...

Liposuction Pricing
Great question. Pricing for liposuction (like most cosmetic surgeries) typically includes 3 different charges: the surgeon's fee (you're paying for their expertise, time, and labor), anesthesiologist fee (you are closely monitored by a professional anesthesiologist while under general anesthesia), and facility fee (the operating room, the tools, the staff, the nurses, etc.) Our professional fees for liposuction are $1,500 per area (however, we consider the entire abdomen as technically two...

How I price liposuction
While the most common way to price liposuction is adding up areas I find the most fair way is by how long the procedure is taking me in terms of surgical time. This is usually related to the body surface area that is being done which is commonly related to the number of areas. My surgical fees start at $3000 for procedures that are under one hour in length and run to as much as $7000 for the longest surgeries covering multiple body areas. On average they are between $4500-$5500. There is a...
