What's the Typical Price for Upper Back and Axillary Liposuction?

I need to know the price of upper back and posterior axillary liposuction. I'm planning to have lipo done this august on my upper back and the side of my breast, I was wondering what is a decent price. I've only had one consultation and the doctor offered me $4500. I just want to know if this is a decent price.

Cost of liposuction.

Hi. In our office the all inclusive cost for the liposuction you are describing is $6000. This includes the use of a state of the art accredited surgical suite and recovery room, and the services of a top, board certified anesthesiologist. Whatever you do, I urge you not to choose a surgeon based on price. You are dealing with your health and your body. Here are some tips I wrote on how to pick a plastic surgeon: 1) Is the surgeon a member of the... more

Upper back and axillary liposuction costs.

Often the amount of time spent in the O.R. determines the price. This may translate into how many areas of liposuction you are doing, (time for each area to be completed). Liposuction prices will vary from city to city and surgeon to surgeon. There are many variables in price. Often these variables are not in the control of the surgeon, (O.R. fee, anesthesia fee, supplies, etc). Beware of bargain basement pricing. Cheap can become expensive quickly. ... more

The fees really can vary from community to community. Do not get fixated on the fee per se. FInd a good doctor because you would prefer not to do this again.

Cost of Liposuction varies based on time, anesthesia, and facility fees as well as ancillary technology

This appears to be a reasonable price but varies depending on the anesthesia and facility fees as well as use of technology such as ultrasound or laser, which are not always necessary. These in turn depend on the extent of the liposuction to be performed. Do not expect a 300cc fat removal to cost the same as a 2000cc fat removal.

$4500 for upper back and axillae liposuction is a great price.

A median price for midback and axillae is roughly $5500 + $750 operating room fee= $6250. We offer discounts occasionally which currently is 30% off if booked within 30 days. $6250-30%=$4375. You won't find a better deal from a good experience liposuction surgeon so take the $4500 offer if you feel good about that doc. I always recommend seeing 3-4 consultations before deciding on the doc.

Liposuction of back and axilla

The biggest factor that determines price is geographic location. Every area has a market rate for the various procedures we do. I would say $4500 (total fee) for those two areas is a fair price for the NYC area. It never hurts to see a second or third doctor to compare prices and/or personalities. Good luck!
