Am I being "double" quoted? I'm 50; Got a quote; MD and Mgr barely saw my "interested areas": Abs, Love handle; Rolls under/side/above bra line; upper arms; inner/outer thighs.They quoted me: $1300 per area; totaling 9 = Upper/lower abs, flanks, lower back, under bra, bra area, arms, outer/inner thighs=$11,700.- I'm 5'5" 160 lbs BMI 28.It seems they "sub divide" the areas in redundant way. Now, this Doc told me that my "sides"=inside "Bra Area" are NOT included?Also, doc said "areas are considered the "size of a palm"?!
Answer: Standard liposuction areas As you have found, different practices divide liposuction areas differently. The idea of an area being considered "size of palm" is a bit unusual, but that is her/her prerogative. It sounds like the communication and assessment was not what you are looking for. I would suggest you see another plastic surgeon or two until you find someone you are comfortable with. To do all those areas under local would take two session, or, you could do them all under general anesthesia.

Answer: Liposuction Candidate--For Best Results, Go With VASER HI DEF, ThermiRF, fat grafting for body shaping for abdomen and flanks J For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF/J Plasma/Renuvion/InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Pricing Generally, I prefer to provide a quote after examining a patient. Thank you for providing photos and BMI. Upper and lower abdomen with flanks and area just below bra strap price would be 3100 dollars, arms (with underarms)1500 dollars, inner and outer thighs $4200, “under the bra” also called mid back would be 1100 dollars. Please remember, given your interest in treating multiple areas and the limitations of Lidocaine dosing, you would need two or three visits to treat all of the above. Hope this is helpful.

Answer: Lipo areas definitions vary from surgeon to surgeon Lipo of the torso is generally divided into abdomen, flanks, and back for purposes of discussion. For the purpose of body contouring, the entire flanks and back region is usually treated in a single session and not piecemeal. The reason for this is that it will produce a better result. However, some centers will create an unrealistically small body area with an unrealistically small price simply to bait you into their center. Once there, you'll find that what you need and the price it would require is pretty much the same as centers which do not employ such deceptive marketing tactics.

Answer: Bra fat Every liposuction surgeon has their own way to price a procedure..I dont advertise my price per area because there is no clear definition for what make up an area.. When a patient come in for a consult I give them a quote according to the size of the areas that they want treated.. There is a maximum amount that can be treated in a session which is determined by the amount of lidocaine that will be needed to numb the area. ( I do all my procedure under local anesthesia...) this will be determined also at a consultation. If a patient wants one area treated it will be priced.. If they want more areas done, it is less expensive to do the treatment at the same time as there is a significant start up cost.
