Liposculture on Upper Arms Cost?

The cost is about $2500-$2800 in the Plastic Surgery Center of Beverly Hills.  This procedure has to be performed with special fine cannulas with very fine technique to avoid any ridges afterward.  This procedure is performed under tumescent technique with sedation in an outpatient setting.  Dr Norman Martin in Plastic Surgery Center of Beverly Hills first introduced and pioneered liposuction in the United States over 25 years ago and ever since we have been continuing his tradition of excellence. 

Often it is not the best approach to find the cheapest plastic surgeon. Does the surgeon specialize in this procedure? What are their credentials? How long have they been in practice? What percentage of their practice is cosmetic surgery? How many of these surgeries have they performed? Do they use the latest techniques? What do their results look like? Do they have photos to show of their work? Do they provide follow-up themselves, or will you only see the nurses (or even just an assistant)? Are they available by phone for an emergency or does one of their staff answer after-hour calls? What is the impression you get from their office and staff? Are they professional and informative? Do they know what they are talking about? You need to ask yourself all of these questions.The prices can vary from state to state, and city to city. We charge for liposuction per area. The abdomen (upper and lower side to side) is one area. The waist (from the ribs to just above the buttocks from side to side around the back) is one area. The thighs (both inner and outer) is one area. Our costs, including the board certified plastic surgeon's fees, board certified anesthesiologist's fees, operating room, labs, garment, vitamins, and follow-up at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months 6 months, and every year after forever, are listed below. If you need more follow-up appointments, those are free as well. The cost per area does go down as you add more areas:One area: cost per area around $5000. Two areas: cost per area round $3200. Three areas: cost per area around $2500When comparing quotes from different doctors, check to make sure that the costs you are quoted are for the same thing! For instance, often the cost per area is quoted as lower, yet the abdomen is comprised of upper and lower, and sometimes even lateral areas (2 to 4 areas for the abdomen, instead we consider the entire abdomen one area) or the thighs are inner and outer (2 areas when we consider the thighs one area). Make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Also check to see what type of anesthesia and facility you are going to be treated in. If the total price is lower but you are not going to receive proper anesthesia from a board certified anesthesiologist, then are you getting a better deal (or inferior treatment)? If the facility is not a certified outpatient surgery center but is an in-office procedure room, is the difference in safety worth the cost reduction? If the doctor is not a board certified plastic surgeon, is that worth the discount in the fees? I would say the answer to all three of these questions is no! This is your body, make sure you are making decisions based on the quality of care, the experience and training of the doctor, and proven results. Cost alone should not be the deciding factor.

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.
Respectfully,-Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

The cost of liposculpture to the arms can vary significantly based on what needs to be done, your geography and so many other factors. Different options, including traditional liposuction, more advanced liposculpture techniques and energy-based skin tightening modalities such as J plasma / renuvion, bodytight, vaser, etc. may be needed to give you the best results.
What is the single most important factor, though, is the experience of your surgeon. The arms are a very tricky area and can suffer serious complications or poor results if not done properly. In inexperienced hands, I have seen significant contour problems, lumpy bumpy appearances, scarring and even total tissue loss. These are very difficult to fix and very, very visible on the arms.
It is so incredibly important that you seek a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has significant experience in this procedure. I did not forget to answer the question! Cost certainly is a concern, but really must come as a secondary consideration after finding the right surgeon. I can't emphasize it enough!
I wish you the best,

hello linds99 liposuction cost varies according the areas of the body being treated and the length of surgery. Hence a good estimate of the cost can be gotten by an in-patient consultation.  Treatment generally starts at about four thousand dollars for the first hour. #costs #age 

Thank you for your question.  Every city has different costs.  Every surgeon also has different costs because of this.  Remember that cheap can get expensive fast, as revision surgery can be quite expensive.  Liposculpture is a surgical procedure, using liposuction techniques to remove fatty deposits from certain areas of the body. recontour areas of the body, and to achieve better proportion. It is often a cosmetic procedure, however has its reconstructive uses as an effective method to remove fatty/fibrous tissue secondary to disease, (or treatment of the disease), and to extract fat to be placed elsewhere in the body to achieve the desired look.  Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, as he/she can also evaluate you for aesthetic surgery, (i.e. tummy tuck, brachioplasty, leg lift, etc.), if needed .  Have reasonable expectations, and together you will make an appropriate plan.
