How Much Does Smart Lipo Cost?

I posted an answer on RealSelf.com 14 months ago, reviewing "Cool Lipo and Smart Lipo from a surgeon's view." In this answer, I reviewed the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery scientific journal article noted in Dr. Brzowski's article, and appreciate his pointing out his take on this as well. Interestingly, this answer received 20 votes of "helpful" out of 23.
In terms of cost, these fancy "machines" that doctors use commonly go for around 100K, and the SmartLipo machines are in this range. The money to pay for this comes from fees charged to the patient. So, a physician has no choice but to hope that such a machine drives in a lot more business, or else the only way to make up the cost is purely through higher fees. I have taken care of patients that have had burns requiring surgical procedures to repair from these "better" technologies of laser lipolysis and ultrasonic liposuction.
Bottom Line: Judge for yourself. There are numerous patient reports on this website, both pro and con, regarding SmartLipo and other technologies. In my mind, the public does seem to have a love affair with anything that says or rhymes with "Laser." But try to get beyond the marketing stuff as best you can. RealSelf.com is a valuable tool to help you do just that. Hope this helps.

The cost of any  procedure can vary significantly based on your specific needs. One area may be quite different from that in somebody else. Also, many patients need other treatments to give them the best result. Smart lipo is an example. Many patients may do well with standard liposuction, but many may require an additional treatment with an energy source to help break up the fat and shrink skin. Other treatments that may be useful in this context and can help contribute to price include J-plasma skin tightening, sculpsure noninvasive fat reduction, Kybella, etc..The most important thing you can do is find a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, has a long record of success with body sculpting and can show you some amazing before-and-after photos that are comparable to your specific needs.I wish you the best,Dr. Gabbay

The cost of a liposculpture procedure varies as it depends on each patient's condition and what is needed to achieve your aesthetic goals. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert who can evaluate your needs and give you a proper cost estimate. Best, Dr.Emer

Hi! Thank you for the question. The average cost of SmartLipo varies from patient to patient depending on a variety of factors. The national average states between $1,500 and $7,500 for each area of the body treated with SmartLipo. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Hello,
Thank you for your question. You are wise to research both the expertise of your surgeon as well as the average cost of cosmetic surgery procedures in your area. While it is certainly wise to pay for expertise over going with the lowest quote available, it’s important to do your research and understand what you are paying for.
I do not charge a set price per area as different goals and different body sizes require differing amounts of time. That said, I am upfront and transparent about pricing during the initial visit, so that the patients feel confident in both the surgical plan and the price. I also work with patients who prefer a payment plan, as I know the out of pocket expenses can be challenging. 
Finally, I make certain to discuss all the associated cost with the patient. Payment plans include both the costs of the surgery as well as follow up care. After surgery I want my patients focused on their health and well being, free of any financial worries.
Best wishes,
Dr. Moein

Different doctors evaluate the areas for liposuction in different ways. In our practice we consider the liposuction per areas. For example in average, the abdomen is four areas, the back is six areas, the waist is two areas, the arms are two areas and it goes on. In general the price in our practice is more per areas than per the amount of fat that is removed. In the state of Florida we have a restriction where we can only remove four liters of fat.
