Costs of Inner and Outer Thigh Lipo?

Thank you for your question.  While the traditional definition of "mommy makeover" is tummy tuck plus a breast procedure (lift, augmentation, etc.), liposuction of additional areas is very often performed in conjunction.  Lipo of the inner and outer thighs would be a fairly easy add-on, and in my practice would likely add 1 hour of operative time and likely an additional $3k of cost.  It is almost certainly more cost effective to perform thigh liposuction at the same time as your other procedures, rather than at another trip to the OR.  Additionally, this would likely not add any additional time to your recovery.

The procedures that are included in a mommy makeover  are not standardized. It is really the patient that determines what they'd like to have as part of their mommy makeover, unless the surgeon says otherwise. Many surgeons frequently perform liposuction with a tummy tuck, but only areas in the mid-section are targeted. It is not unusual that liposucton of the thighs would be an additional cost. Pricing for liposuction varies, but is usually $3000-$5000 in Toronto, ON.

A mommy makeover is a lay term for cosmetic surgery on the breasts and abdomen so liposuction of the thighs is not generally part of the procedure for most of my patients.  However, this might be done during the same operation depending on your health, physical features, surgeon's preference, etc.  Liposuction of a separate area of your body will not likely be include in the price of your surgery; it will probably add several thousand dollars to the cost.  It will take significantly more time and will involve additional specialized equipment.

A mommy makeover is comprised of different procedures, as determined by the needs of the patient. Some will only get a breast lift and tummy tuck, while others may get liposuction, tummy tuck, breast lift and implants. It all depends on the patient and the surgeon. For this reason, the cost of a mommy makeover depends on the treatments performed.For liposuction only, the cost varies from $4000-$7000 in Toronto, Ontario

 

         Liposuction costs
vary and are dependent upon multiple factors. These include the surgeon’s fee,
facility fee, anesthesia charges, location of the liposuction procedure and the
type of liposuction performed. The approach to liposuction varies from
physician to physician. Some surgeons use general anesthesia, some use a
hospital and some use techniques that involve expensive technology. Each of
these variables can affect the cost of liposuction.

 

         Obtaining fee quotes
for liposuction on the telephone or internet can be confusing. Therefore, it’s
important to meet with a physician and know exactly what he or she is talking
about. Make sure, you’re not talking apples and oranges and that you’re getting
a fee quote for a comparable procedure.

 

         In the Midwestern
United States, liposuction fees range from $2,700 to $3,600 per anatomic area.
This would typically include the surgeons fee, facility fee, anesthesia
charges, and after care.

 

         Cost is obviously
important, but it’s also important to be comfortable with the surgeon’s
qualifications and experience. Make sure you get all your questions answered
and are comfortable with your surgeon.

Depending on how much you are going to remove and the size of the location, your price will vary with these and a few other factors.  Usually the price ranges from  4K to 8K.

While it's not uncommon to do some liposuction with a "mommy makeover", it's certainly more common in my practice to use it as a waist-contouring procedure.  

Here in Florida, we are limited by law (Board of Medicine regulations) to 1 litre of liposuction when we perform a tummy tuck, and that allowance only goes so far...  

All the best,

Discounts are usually given when combining procedures.  Because you're asking for so many things, it's hard to give an exact price over the phone.  Therefore, you may want to visit with several plastic surgeons (free consults) to see what prices you get.

I think with all of these procedures, the pricing may be from $14,000 to $18,000 in Toronto, Ontario. However, prices vary considerably based on the city you're in and the surgeon you choose to have perform your surgery. A mommy makeover is any combination of procedures selected by the patient, as deemed safe and suitable by the surgeon.

You our right. Liposuction is a very common component of the Mommy Make Over. It would be best for you to continue your research and find a doctor who regularly performs this type of combination procedure on a regular basis. Doctors who regularly perform this type of procedure usually have a "package" price for different combinations. When you find the right doctor you should be able to safely have all of these procedures done at the same time. Good luck
