How much for liposuction with abdominal etching? (photos)

Question

I have a tiny belly and I was going to look for a surgeon close to toronto or mississauga to do liposuction with abdominal etching for me. Can I get a rough idea of cost for the small amount that I would need done. If you cannot answer me then please do not reply just to say you cannot give me an answer. I just want a guesstimate to make sure I can even afford this right now. I just had a breast lift and implants which was pretty pricey. But worth it.

I appreciate your question.

Vaser assisted liposuction utilizes ultrasound to emulsify or melt felt prior to removal. It is also used to etch or define the muscles and normal anatomy to enhance the results. I use a specialized technique to remove the deeper fat areas and sculpt the superficial fat, so that one can achieve the goal of having not only a flatter stomach but also a more defined and curvaceous body if wanted. I can use this technique on the arms as well.

I also use the fat removed to graft into the pecs for men or breasts for women as well as into the arms and other areas to further enhance muscle definition.

The best candidates for the procedure already have a good muscular base.You might benefit more from a tummy tuck if the abdominal wall is loose.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery and high definition body contouring.

Best of luck!

I perform hundreds of liposuction procedures each year, but tummy tuck would probably yield a much better result.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA...............

Thank you for your question and photos.  I do not think you would be completely satisfied with liposuction of the abdomen alone.  Based on your photos, you demonstrate skin and muscle laxity that would be corrected by a full tummy tuck.  Liposuction will remove fat, but could leave you with even more lax, saggy skin.  Only an in-person evaluation can confirm this.  For your personal satisfaction, attached is a link for your to see how much others have paid in the Realself community for liposuction.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Abdominal etching (limited to your abdomen and anterior flanks(love handles) may cost you around 10K+ depending on where you go.

Dear Michelle39808,

Liposuction in the abdomen using
SmartLipo, BodyTite or Vaser Lipo generally can achieve excellent cosmetic
contour and contraction.  This can
combine with resection and subdermal stimulation in the linea alba and
tendinous intersections to get more definition. 
This comes with greater risks and most surgeons avoid this.  However, the cost for abdominal liposuction
is generally in the $4,000.00 to $7,000.00 range depending on the experience of
your surgeon.

I’ve been performing advanced
liposuction techniques like SmartLipo, BodyTite and Vaser Lipo for over 20
years.

I hope this information is of some
assistance and best of luck.
