I am looking to lose a couple of stubborn pounds around my midsection, and since it is such a small amount I dont want to be paying several thousands of dollars if I dont have to. If i have only literally 2 or 3 lbs to lipo, will it be the same price as if I had say, 30? if not, approximately how much would it typically cost?
Answer: Does Cost of Liposuction Depend on How Much Fat You Want to Remove?
Liposuction is virtually the only operation for which my staff cannot provide a price over the telephone.
The cost mainly depends on the duration of the operation, since the surgeon bills for his or her time and the clinic usually charges a time-based fee for the operating room.
The length of a liposuction operation depends on the number of areas to be treated, and whether position changes are required. Many procedures involve turning the patient face-down. This alone can add 30 minutes to the operative time.
Finally, there are geographic variations in the costs of aesthetic surgery.
Of course it will be worth your while to spend what you need to in order to be looked after by an experienced and compassionate surgeon. Do your research.
Good luck!

Answer: Cost of liposuction
LIposuction costs depend primarily on the number of areas treated, the type of liposuction, the time for anesthesia, and the type of anesthesia. Volume does not play a factor in the pricing of liposuction.

Answer: Dont settle for cheap liposuction
Liposuction cost is determined in part by the cost of OR fee, the staff, the monitoring of patients during the procedure, the complexity of the procedure as some patients are going thru it the second or maybe even the third time and several other factors might be involved as well. select your surgeon wisely, not the cost

Answer: Avoid Cheap Liposuctions. You will regret it!
Liposuction of the abdomen and hips or sides typically run around $5-6,000 on special from an experienced liposuction surgeon who does the tumescent local technique with the micro cannulas. I feel it gives the best results but is expensive due to the skill and time involved but truly worth it. Because of all the problems seen now-a-days with laser lipos, they are probably the cheapest and I would recommend avoiding them and also any that still do the old method traditional lipo under general anesthesia. Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD
