What is the average cost of Liposuction for the upper and lower abdomen?

Question

Average price for Lipo of the abdomen? (lower and upper) And how do you know what method of Lipo is right for you?!

Erik Miles, MD, FACS · Answer

The fees generally vary based on how extensive the procedure is and how many areas are treated.  The fees are between $4000 and $6000 for the abdomen.  Small isolated areas can often be addressed under local anesthesia.  Seek a consultation from a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes.

Prices for any surgery vary from place to place and doctor to doctor.  It would also depend on whether local or general anesthesia was used or whether the addition of other modalities such as laser-assisted or ultrasound-assisted liposuction is used.  I would suggest that you schedule one or two consultations with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can examine you in person and review your options with you.

luvnhair08.  The most important factor regarding your liposuction procedure is your surgeon and his or her skill and experience, NOT the type of liposuction machine being used! There are lots of slick ads promoting different machines promising to shrink skin and remote stretch marks and cellulite. However, buyer beware, as there are no reputable scientific studies demonstrating superiority of these machines over traditional liposuction machines! Costs vary from region to region, and liposuction of the abdominal region in New York City costs from $4000-$10,000.Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to give yourself the best chance for the result you desire. Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  The cost of liposuction varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise.  The best candidates for liposuction have excess fat with good skin elasticity.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hello dear! Thanks for the question.
The average cost varies a lot depending on the clinic, the country 
and the plastic surgeon. Ill recommend you to make an appointment with a
 board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything 
you need to know.
Good luck :)

Liposuction of the full abdomen in my practice includes from the bottom of the breasts to the pubic line, and along the hips if the patient wishes.   Cost is also affected by how much fat is there, which dictates how much time the surgery will take.  Some patients have 800 cc removed and some need 3,000 cc removed, which takes longer.  Ballpark cost in our area would be about $6,000 including surgery, anesthesia, garments and post operative care.  Be sure you meet with an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon and if you are offered surgery in an office OR, be sure the operating room is accredited and certified.  Good luck!
