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.

The fees for liposuction vary greatly depending on area of the country, areas of the body to be treated, and how many areas are to be treated at once.  I typically discount additional areas beyond the first one.  Once I meet with a patient in person for a consultation I can give him or her a specific quote so that patient knows the cost up front.Hope that helps.Dr. Howell

Liposuction cost will vary widely across the country and depending on the surgeon's years of experience, the type of surgeon, the areas involved and the technique utilized.  The definition of an area can vary tremendously depending on the surgeon.  As a board certified plastic surgeon, I find that patients can be overwhelmed with the number of different techniques available for liposuction.  In any liposuction procedure, regardless of technique, the goal is to remove unwanted fatty tissue. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons have stated that Tumescent Liposuction is still the safest and most consistent technique of liposuction.  Physicians price liposuction based on the number of areas treated.  For example, in my practice, liposuction of the abdomen and flanks(love handles) costs between 4,000 and 4,500 dollars.  We offer a discount to patients who wish to combine multiple areas of liposuction during the same surgery. 

To be honest, it's impossible to quote liposuction without seeing you because there are too many variables involved. There are several reasons for this:

1. Your board certified plastic surgeon can't assess the quality of your skin over the phone. If you have a great amount of loose skin and stretch marks on your abdomen, for example, a qualified and experienced surgeon may recommend a tummy tuck rather than liposuction. Age plays a role as does the amount of stretch marks.

2. Your board certified plastic surgeon can't evaluate the amount of lipo necessary to achieve your goals without seeing you. Lipo on a 105 lb woman's thighs may take much less time than lipo on a 190 lb woman's thighs.

3. You can't see your prospective surgeon's office, meet the staff, or view before/afters unless you go into the office. Sure, we all have before/after photos on our websites, but most of us don't have the hundreds of before/after sets that show the breadth and depth of our experience. These extra photos are available in the office.

Plastic surgery of any kind deserves an in-person consultation with a qualified, experienced and skilled board certified plastic surgeon.Costs can vary by area of the country, whether it's performed in the hospital or a surgery center, the level of skill of the anesthesiologist (RN vs MD) and other factors.

I realize this was a long answer to a short question, but I always caution patients to remember they aren't buying a retail product, where the same Tide Detergent may vary by price from one store to another. They are buying skill, experience and, ultimately, lifelong results. For that you want the best you can find. Over your lifetime the difference in price will be negligible between one physician and another, but the difference in results might not be.

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.

Cost for liposuction varies largely depending on the areas you are having treated. Of course there will be a discount if you are treating more than one area at the same time. There is also a price difference due to the location of the service provider or the technology that is used to do the liposuction. There is the traditional SAL or “suction assistant liposuction” that normally is cheaper than more modern technologies like “water jet assisted liposuction” or “laser assisted liposuction” or many other new technologies that all have their indications advantages and disadvantages. It is important to know that there is a limit to the areas in volume that can be removed in one goal. This is determined by your personal health and safety. Modern liposuction performed by an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon is a safe procedure however it is a surgical procedure that does have its typical profile of risks and complications.

Thank you for your question. Prices vary from $3,000 and up depending on location and surgeon. I would advise you to schedule a consultation for a detailed examination with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss all possible treatment options. Some offices can give you a bundle deal. 

Thank you for your question. The cost average varies depending the doctor and location. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
