I went to my surgeon the other day. The cost for my liposuction in my stomach is $5,000. They have their own facility so i dont pay hospital fees. They didnt even get a good look at my stomach. He looked at my stomach at first and said to do coolsculpting but i dont think it will take as much fat off as i want and my mind is set on lipo. Should i go get a price from someone else? I got my chin done by the same doctor. Could that be their set rate for lipo period? Less fat off, less pricey?
