How Much Does Laser Liposuction Cost?

Laser liposuctions have been getting a lot cheaper over the last few yrs for good reason- results have not been up to expectations in many instances.  There are a lot of problems with skin puckering and skin burns and just not happy patients with their results when done by inexperienced physicians.  Be sure to see docs with a lot of experience and great results in liposuction and insist on tumescent local anesthesia with the micro canulas rather than gen. anesthesia.  Sincerely,

The answer to this varies depending on the experience of your surgeon. Typically you get what you pay for so don't go for the cheapest one in town.  At the same, do your research and find a reasonably priced plastic surgeon with great reviews and before and after photos.  Depending on the areas the cost can range from $3,000 to $30,000.  

First it is important to know the total cost of the procedure . The surgical fee, anesthesia fee and the facility fees.   Adding all the fees together the smallest area such as a chin alone starts at $2,000 , that is for a small chin. Each additional area treated adds to the cost. If a patient is larger or more overweight it is usually more work and a bit more. The abdomen and flanks are usually considered 2- 3 surgical areas.  Some quotes include only the surgical fee other include the facility fee and anesthesia fees.  My quote includes all the fees.  On average the cost of laser liposuction on larger areas range from $ 4-7,500.  

Thank you for your question. 
Laser liposuction became very popular and hot procedures in aesthetic surgery. There are different types of laser liposuction. But the various types of laser liposuction have similar costs.  I would estimate that a single area of laser liposuction would range from $1000-$2000 depending on the size of the area. Another variable regarding cost is the surgeon who is performing the procedure. Depending on your geographical location the cost also varies.  
 I keep using laser liposuction for 11 years. The technology improved a lot by time. I would estimate it is saturated within the last 3 years. Laser liposuction is laser assisted liposuction and we use the laser as an adjunct to a liposuction procedure. The major benefits of laser liposuction have been scientifically studied and it is reported that the skin tightening from the procedure is quicker and better when laser lipo is done. Price varies a great deal and the most important thing is to find a provider that is well skilled in laser liposuction. A board-certified plastic surgeon should be the ones doing these procedures.

Thank you for your question. Yes, laser liposuction procedures are generally comparable with cost. Most influences on cost come from amount of time required to perform the procedure, as well as facility costs. Best, Dr. David Amron

The various types of laser liposuction have similar costs.  I would estimate that a single area of laser liposuction would range from $3000-$5000 depending on the size of the area, the surgeon performing the procedure and your geographical location.  

The cost various by city and state. Estimates range from 2500-7,000 an area.  The price of laser liposuction is the same as traditional liposuction in my practice.

Hi Eva,Laser liposuction costs will vary upon patient's areas of concern, if it includes anesthesia and demographic region.  If you're a candidate, you may be able to get an area performed starting at $2,000 or lower with a great surgeon. The most important factor is that you are a candidate and your money is well spent.Dr. Lu

Laser liposuction is a convenient and effective modality for lipolysis. The treatment is superior to conventional liposuction. Treatment with laser liposuction entails laser fat dissolution and fat aspiration. Cost depends on the type of anesthesia, surgery center fees, and the number of areas treated. The key to success is meticulous technique and placing utmost importance on safety.

Pricing of laser liposuction has more to do with the provider and where they practice (region of the country) than the system they use. Usually, a physician picks 1 or 2 liposuction systems to purchase and use in their practice. Since they can each create very similar results, it’s not worthwhile for us to invest in several. Think of it like a carpenter with a phillips-head or flathead screwdriver – do you care which tool they use? No, you care about the results they achieve. So look for a doctor who creates the kind of results you want, not the tool they use to achieve it.
