Average Cost of Liposuction for Love Handles in or Around NYC?

Thanks for the question, its interesting reading everyone's answer. I perform 6-10 liposuction cases a week in a minimally invasive fashion ( light sedation, energy based technology to melt the fat, gentle removal) given that I perform so many my staff and I have leveraged the experience to become more streamlined and cost efficient. For one area which would take about 45 minutes we charge about $3500

Often it is not the best approach to find the cheapest plastic surgeon. Does the surgeon specialize in this procedure? What are their credentials? How long have they been in practice? What percentage of their practice is cosmetic surgery? How many of these surgeries have they performed? Do they use the latest techniques? What do their results look like? Do they have photos to show of their work? Do they provide follow-up themselves, or will you only see the nurses (or even just an assistant)? Are they available by phone for an emergency or does one of their staff answer after-hour calls? What is the impression you get from their office and staff? Are they professional and informative? Do they know what they are talking about? You need to ask yourself all of these questions.The prices can vary from state to state, and city to city. We charge for liposuction per area. The abdomen (upper and lower side to side) is one area. The waist (from the ribs to just above the buttocks from side to side around the back) is one area. The thighs (both inner and outer) is one area. Our costs, including the board certified plastic surgeon's fees, board certified anesthesiologist's fees, operating room, labs, garment, vitamins, and follow-up at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months 6 months, and every year after forever, are listed below. If you need more follow-up appointments, those are free as well. The cost per area does go down as you add more areas:One area: cost per area around $5000. Two areas: cost per area round $3200. Three areas: cost per area around $2500When comparing quotes from different doctors, check to make sure that the costs you are quoted are for the same thing! For instance, often the cost per area is quoted as lower, yet the abdomen is comprised of upper and lower, and sometimes even lateral areas (2 to 4 areas for the abdomen, instead we consider the entire abdomen one area) or the thighs are inner and outer (2 areas when we consider the thighs one area). Make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Also check to see what type of anesthesia and facility you are going to be treated in. If the total price is lower but you are not going to receive proper anesthesia from a board certified anesthesiologist, then are you getting a better deal (or inferior treatment)? If the facility is not a certified outpatient surgery center but is an in-office procedure room, is the difference in safety worth the cost reduction? If the doctor is not a board certified plastic surgeon, is that worth the discount in the fees? I would say the answer to all three of these questions is no! This is your body, make sure you are making decisions based on the quality of care, the experience and training of the doctor, and proven results. Cost alone should not be the deciding factor.

Thank you for your question. The cost varies depending the surgeon and the location. My recommendation is to be consulted by board certified plastic surgeon, specialized in Body Contour, who knows individualize each patient to give you the better advice.

Thanks for your question. Love handle liposuction normally is in the order of $4000-$7000 currently in Manhattan.  This depends on the experience of the liposuction surgery. You would expect to pay more for a highly experienced liposuction expert with a track record of high quality results and high patient safety.  Cost should not be the main factor when approaching an important procedure like liposuction.  Choose a surgeon who has a great deal of experience, impeccable credentials and who you feel comfortable interacting with.  Look at their before and after photos too. I wish you the best!

Hi- thanks for your question! Liposuction pricing varies by surgeon experience (including level of training), the nature of exactly what is required during the procedure, geography, what services are included, and other factors.  All told, in NYC it is reasonable to expect to pay between $3500 and $6500 for liposuction of the love handles.

Thank you for your question. The price of liposuction of the flanks depends on your region and how much liposuction is being performed. In New York City, where I practice, I would say that the price will be approximately $5,000-$7,000. However, I would need to see you in the office to give you an actual price quote. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. Cost is always a consideration in elective surgery. Prices for liposuction in our facility vary depending on the amount of tissue planned to be removed, and the expected time that will be spent in the operative room. You may call us for a general range if you know what areas you think will require liposuction. A final written cost estimate will be presented to you at your consultation.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon who is well-experienced in Liposuction and body contouring procedures, I believe that you would be a great candidate for liposuction of your abdomen and flanks (love handles and bra rolls).  I believe that if you addressed your flanks alone, that you would wish that you would have addressed your abdomen as well.  Prices for liposuction are variable but the average cost for liposuction in New York begins around $4,500 and can go up from there depending upon how many areas you would like to have treated and surgeon expertise and technique.  I would strongly recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in liposuction and body sculpting procedures to discuss your concerns and determine what the best course of action is.  

The cost of lower belly liposuction can vary depending on the surgeon, and how large an area you are treating. Here at plasticsurgeryoahu, you would be looking at anywhere from $2550-$4000. It is best to see a board certified surgeon for a consultation so that the exact cost of your treatment can be determined.

Thank you for ypur question. Cost vary from city to city I would recommend visiting a few Board Certified Plastic Surgeons and find one that you feel comfortable with. Cost Liposuction of the lower abdomen and flanks and lower back range from $5,000-$10,000 depending on where you live. Best wishes
