Liposuction, the suction removal of unwanted subcutaneous fat, is an excellent procedure that has been in use for over 30 years. There are many different "types" of liposuction:Tumescent liposuctionSmart lipoLaser lipoPower assisted liposuctioniLipoWater assisted liposuctionUltrasound assisted liposuctionBut, in reality, all liposuction procedures are basically the same. A balanced salt solution with local anesthesia and epinephrine is placed in the targeted area's subcutaneous plane with small incisions. A small cannula with openings in the tip is placed in the same location and connected to a suction machine and the fat is removed.The procedure can be performed under a local anesthetic, local with sedation or general anesthetic, depending on the patient and the surgeon. The price will vary from surgeon to surgeon and city to city. The price is also dependant on how many areas are treated and the length of time in surgery. Don't be fooled, anybody, even non surgeons (family practice doctors, ER doctors, oral surgeons) are performing this procedure in their office. Please consult with only Board Certified Plastic Surgeons to assure the best possible result,The price will vary from $3,000 - $7,000 depending on the variables listed above.Good Luck!
