What is the Average Post Op, Lanicane and Medication Cost for Lipo?

I think you need to check prices with other surgeons. Most of us do not charge extra for post-op visits. Make sure the surgeon you use is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, and has experience. Competition should keep the prices reasonable, and you should feel comfortable with the surgeon and pricing, even if you have to drive a few extra miles. Good luck.

All offices have their own pricing policies. Almost all surgeons I have dealt with in all specialties don't charge extra for post-op visits for a period of time, sometimes a year sometimes indefinite.

If you have concerns, you should definitely get another opinion or two to compare and make sure that you are comfortable with the surgeon (who should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery), the facility where the procedure will be performed (should be State, Medicare or AAAASF certified) and the doctors before and after photographs and the doctor's staff that will be helping to care for you.

Cost of Liposuctions Vary A Lot.

Laser lipos are now the cheapest for a reason, they often can give substandard results with higher risks of complications.... more

Every doctor sets his own fees. In my office we charger a surgeon's fee and then a facility fee covering anesthesia, supplies, and nursing.

Liposuction fees

Hello. Everyone calculates the costs of surgery differently. We have cosmetic packages including all pre and post treatment care. Some physicians break down the costs into multiple payments. Best option is to get a second opinion near where you live. Good luck
