Cost of back liposuction? (Photo)

Upper back liposuction can be successful if there is significant fat in that area, and the surgeon suctions aggressively.  This is not an easy area to suction. This may cost $2000 or so but will depend upon the extent of the areas liposuctioned and the demand for the surgeon.  You mention that you have gained weight as you have aged; recommend that you be within 10 pounds of your weight goal to obtain optimal results from the liposuction.  A virtual or in-office consultation would be preferred to give you a more accurate estimate.Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results you are seeking.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

You will be so glad you got lipo to get that fat gone. I would do the axillae(armpits), mid back, and hips in 1 procedure under tumescent local at a cost of $7,000 for quality work. It would be easy to undergo and so worth it.

Cost for liposuction including the fee for surgeon, surgical facility, anesthesia, and post operative care will depend on the city and surgeon. With that said it's best to set up a few consultations with different surgeons and make an informed decision based on their experience and speciality in the field. View their before and after photos to see what the outcome could potentially be. 

Thank you for your question and photo. Backs are difficult areas to suction and you need to see a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques. Based on your phot, it is not enough to just liposuction the back only. You do have significant fat on your waist line, lower back and hips. Not addressing those areas, will leave you with less than desirable results. I use the VASER liposuction technique, combined with the Power X rotating cannula for best results. Although costs are important, this is based on the surgeon's skills, geographic area and technique used. This can be expensive procedure if you chose the lowest bidder, since secondary corrective liposuction is more difficult, expensive and might not achieve the results if the procedure would've been done by an expert first time. Good luck.

Cost will vary due to skills, expertise and technique. For best results with liposuction, it is recommended to be at or near your ideal/stable weight. You need to lose weight first before undergoing any cosmetic procedure to get the best outcome. I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction which can be combined with a body lifting procedure at the same time, if you're a candidate. 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. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear Annie1841,it is really hard to tell the exact cost of a surgery because there are many factors which can affect it. Some of them are number of liposuctioned areas, anesthesia, facility fee, surgeon fee, city where the surgery should be one, etc. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Costs are going to vary by surgeon and location. Having said that, I always advise my patients to be at a maintainable goal weight before considering any form of cosmetic surgery. Liposuction is about body contouring, not weight loss. I would suggest that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to be examined in person and discuss. 

Hello and thank you for your inquiery,
The average cost of liposuction is $3,200, according to 2016 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Liposuction cost can vary widely. The average fee referenced above does not include anesthesia, operating room facilities or other related expenses.
A surgeon's fee will be based on his or her experience, the type of procedure used, and the geographic office location.
Good luck!
