How Much Does Liposuction Cost? Do you get discounts for the lipo price if you get lipo on multiple areas?

Here are some estimates:  Neck / jawline liposuction $3000-4000; Abdomen-upper and lower $6000-8000; Abdomen with hips and sides $7000-10,000; Abdomen with love handles $7000-10,000; Inner and outer thighs, knees and buttocks $7000-10,000; inner and outer thighs, lower buttocks, knees, calves and ankles $8000-12,000; Midback ,axillae(armpit areas), arms $7000-10,000; ADD $1000 for operating room fee/ surgery ; There is NO anesthesia fee required. We want you to have a good experience during your procedure. This is the top of the line liposuction and is so worth it !!!
As you may have guessed, liposuction fees vary a lot and rarely will you get a quote over the phone because so many variables are involved. It depends on the size of the area and the amount of anticipated work to do the job as well as the technique involved. The tumescent technique with micro canulas give by far the best results and are worth the extra cost of the procedure.
Many physicians have not kept up with all the latest improvements happening with liposuction. Twenty years ago we all did liposuction under general anesthesia with bigger canulas which required making incisions and left more waviness and dimpling with saggy skin. None of that is done anymore by those who specialize in the procedure. If your doc uses general anesthesia or makes incisions which requires suturing, then that tells you that he is doing the old traditional liposuction with the bigger canulas. The procedure is safer with you awake and comfortable. You just get up and walk out after the procedure. There are no incisions either, only needle sticks now so no big scars anymore. Recovery is quicker and easier and you are back to work in 2 days or less and your skin actually tightens or shrinks.

Often it is not the best approach to find the cheapest plastic surgeon. Does the surgeon specialize in this procedure? What are their credentials? How long have they been in practice? What percentage of their practice is cosmetic surgery? How many of these surgeries have they performed? Do they use the latest techniques? What do their results look like? Do they have photos to show of their work? Do they provide follow-up themselves, or will you only see the nurses (or even just an assistant)? Are they available by phone for an emergency or does one of their staff answer after-hour calls? What is the impression you get from their office and staff? Are they professional and informative? Do they know what they are talking about? You need to ask yourself all of these questions.The prices can vary from state to state, and city to city.  We charge for liposuction per area.  The abdomen (upper and lower side to side) is one area.  The waist (from the ribs to just above the buttocks from side to side around the back) is one area.  The thighs (both inner and outer) is one area.  Our costs, including the board certified plastic surgeon's fees, board certified anesthesiologist's fees, operating room, labs, garment, vitamins, and follow-up at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months 6 months, and every year after forever, are listed below.  If you need more follow-up appointments, those are free as well.  The cost per area does go down as you add more areas:One area: cost per area around $5000.  Two areas: cost per area round $3200.  Three areas: cost per area around $2500When comparing quotes from different doctors, check to make sure that the costs you are quoted are for the same thing!  For instance, often the cost per area is quoted as lower, yet the abdomen is comprised of upper and lower, and sometimes even lateral areas (2 to 4 areas for the abdomen, instead we consider the entire abdomen one area) or the thighs are inner and outer (2 areas when we consider the thighs one area).  Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.  Also check to see what type of anesthesia and facility you are going to be treated in.  If the total price is lower but you are not going to receive proper anesthesia from a board certified anesthesiologist, then are you getting a better deal (or inferior treatment)?  If the facility is not a certified outpatient surgery center but is an in-office procedure room, is the difference in safety worth the cost reduction?  If the doctor is not a board certified plastic surgeon, is that worth the discount in the fees?  I would say the answer to all three of these questions is no!  This is your body, make sure you are making decisions based on the quality of care, the experience and training of the doctor, and proven results.  Cost alone should not be the deciding factor.

The cost of liposuction ranges significantly based on factors such as surgeon experience, facility location, type of anesthesia, treatment area, number of areas involved, and the technique used. For example, smaller volume areas, like the neck or jawline, may be lower cost than larger volume areas such as the abdomen or thighs. Advanced techniques, such as VASER or laser-assisted liposuction, may increase the cost. Combining liposuction with skin tightening technologies such as Renuvion can also change the overall cost.
When multiple areas are treated in one session, there may be discounts, as the fixed costs for operating room time and anesthesia are spread across the areas being treated, making it more cost-effective. Office-based procedures under local anesthesia tend to be less expensive than those done under general anesthesia in an operating room. However, it is important to consult with a plastic surgeon to understand the full cost of your specific treatment plan and to consider factors like the surgeon’s experience and the quality of the results. Furthermore, compression garments and post-surgery massage therapy may add additional expenses.

The cost of liposuction can vary widely depending on factors such as the geographic location, the surgeon's experience, the complexity of the procedure, and the number of areas being treated. Typically, prices range from $3,000 to $8,000 per area, but the total cost can be higher when multiple areas are involved. Some practices do offer discounts for multiple areas as it can be more cost-effective to perform liposuction on several areas in one session, reducing overall operating room and anesthesia costs. Always discuss pricing and potential discounts during your consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to get a clear understanding of the total cost for your specific treatment plan.

The cost for liposuction varies based on many variables including the specific area being treated, the number of areas treated, how much tissue needs to be removed and if additional technologies are being utilized (SAL vs PALS vs VASER vs Renuvion etc). In general the cost starts at around 3-4K and can run up to 15K+ depending on what is required.

Great question. Prices vary by region, provider (type, experience, field) and setting (office/OR). Total fee is what your are asking for most likely and that depends on setting. Office based liposuction (done under local anesthesia) includes a set up fee and surgeon's fee and is generally less than liposuction done in the operating room as there are no operating room or anesthesiologist fees. I only do office based liposuction for relatively small areas and this starts around $3000 (my office could give you a firm quote after consultation). Larger cases done in the operating room under general anesthesia start about double that. I say all this based on 20+ years of experience as a board certified plastic surgeon and always with patient safety guiding me. I have seen too many patients who have have surgical misadventures done in the wrong setting, for the wrong reasons and by the wrong provider. By the way, I understand your concern about undergoing abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) but just so you know I do a lot of them and it is very safe.
