Hello and thank you for the question. This is a very common procedure. It is done under full anesthesia. I typically will do a 360 degree liposuction procedure for the front abdomen and back including the flanks. The fat is saved and re-injected into the butt and hips. The surgery typically takes about 2-3 hours to complete. You should take 1-2 weeks off of work for recovery. Some of the fat that is transferred doesn't last, but for most patients, they will keep 80% of the fat. If the stomach skin is loose or sagging, you might need a tummy tuck as well. Our fee for this including anesthesia, surgery center and doctor fees runs 10,000-12,000 depending on how many additional areas of liposuction are being done. Both financing and payment plan options are also available. You should have several consultations before making a decision. Best to be healthy, absolutely NO smoking ( if you do ) and make sure any health conditions are being managed by your primary care md. Best to you.
