I am scheduled to have u/l abdominal ad well as flank lipo and am getting nervous about results/vs cost. Really worth it, will it look worse? I have pretty good skin as well as muscle under.
Answer: Quality liposuction is expensive but so worth it. Without seeing your photos, it is difficult to give an opinion. But , cheap lipos are everywhere and they give horrible results. Avoid general anesthesia and make sure your doc uses the smaller cannulas and turns you and stands you up during the procedure for best fine tuning. $9000 is not too much for quality liposuction of the tummy and flanks.

Answer: Is abdominal lipo worth it and does $9,000 seem too pricey? Thank you for your question. Prices vary a lot according to experience and board certification of the plastic surgeon, facilities, quality of the practice, region, etc… If you're willing to travel medical tourism is an attractive way to get quality results at a lower price. Cosmetic surgery in Colombia represents an increasingly attractive option for consumers looking for the ultimate combination of quality, price, availability, service, enjoyment, and value. Prices for plastic surgery procedures can be very affordable, and often 30-50% less than in the United States and Europe. However, when considering this option don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.In addition to finding the right surgeon you should look into the hospital and the rest of the medical team. Is the hospital accredited? Do they have modern facilities and supplies? Are the anesthesiologists licensed and accredited? Do they speak English well enough for you to communicate your concerns and needs?

Answer: Liposuction Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. If you have excess fat and good skin elasticity, then you may be a good candidate for liposuction. Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Is abdominal lipo worth it and does $9,000 seem too pricey? Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent. Always go with the talent and results of the surgeon and do not select based upon technique or cost. Liposuction can be used selectively to remove the more resistant fat areas but will not address skin laxity. The cost of liposuction of your abdomen and flanks will depend upon the demand for the surgeon and the overall amount of work involved. The result will depend upon the amount as well as the skill with which fat is removed to maintain a smooth contour. Real Self reports that "The typical cost for Liposuction near Chicago, Illinois ranges from $2,400 - $9,500 with an average cost of $5,675 near Chicago and an average of $6,025 from all locations. Costs vary by surgeon, geographic region, and the complexity of the procedure."Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Liposuction Cost & Results--VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting This is difficult to answer without pictures, but liposuction can give you great results with fat reduction and body shaping. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. Cost will vary due to skills, expertise and experience. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
