This may cost $4500 on the low end.

Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Depending on amount of work required the cost is around $3000.  Tumescent procedure with sedation is the gold standard and safe procedure for body contouring.  I have performed thousands of liposculpture procedures for over 12 years with outstanding natural results.  I perform this procedure with IV sedation which makes the entire experience safe and comfortable. Consultations are complementary.

Liposuction of the belly makes such a great improvement and is easy to undergo for roughly $5-6000 on special for  really quality work under local tumescent anesthesia. You are back to work in 2 days and back to the gym in 1 week. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Liposuction cost

Hello. The costs for liposuction will vary tremendously depending on the the training and experience of the physician and where the surgery is performed. It can also depend on the amount of fat being removed which translates into time in the operating room. Some patients have surgery done under sedation while others have surgery done under general anesthesia where you are asleep. Because everyone is different it's difficult to estimate costs without seeing photos or the patient in person. When looking at costs be sure to look at total costs - surgery, operating room costs, anesthesia, garments , etc. Liposuction is often one of those surgeries where you get what you pay for. Discount surgery can often leave a patient with serious problems that are difficult to fix. Ultimately any patient having liposuction should be at a stable weight. Gaining weight back after the procedure will usually lead to unhappy patients. So many things to consider. Ultimately, to answer your question it can cost anywhere from $2500 - $7500 or more for the areas you are talking about depending on what exactly is done. You should make a consultation with several board certified plastic surgeons in your area with an expertise in liposuction and body contouring to see what your specific options are. Good luck!

The costs and your recovery will depend on the scope of your problem. Costs will vary amongst surgeons and the time spent in the OR will affect the total. In my area things would start around $4000 and go up. Recovery also depends on how significant your problem area is. More liposuction means more recovery.
