Liposuction for Love Handles and Mid-section Fat Cost?

Question

I would like to have Liposuction on just my love handles and a little on the mid-section. I was wondering about cost? I am 70 or 71 inches tall and weigh 94 kilos. I'm 67 years old and in good physical condition other than a bad lower back. Thank you.

It is best to see a board certified surgeon for
a consultation so that the exact cost of your treatment can be determined. The
price depends on the volume and location of the suctioned area, but typically
ranges from $4,000 to $10,000. Best, Dr. Khorasani

Liposuction costs vary and are dependent upon multiple
factors.  These include the
surgeons 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.

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, combination liposuction fees range from $4,000 to
$5,000.  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 surgeons qualifications and
experience.  Make sure you get all
your questions answered and are comfortable with your surgeon.

Liposuction prices will vary from city to city and surgeon to surgeon. There are many variables in price. Often these variables are not in the control of the surgeon, (O.R. fee, anesthesia fee, supplies, etc). Beware of bargain basement pricing. Cheap can become expensive quickly. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon. Together you should be able to find a plan that is safe and effective.

Hello. Liposuction pricing varies depending on surgeon and location. Pricing could range anywhere from $4500 - 6000. You will need clearance from your primary care doctor. Then you will need to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in liposuction for best results. Good luck to you.

This is based on lipo to the love handles and lower abdomen. I checked with two other guys and we were pretty close (to my surprise, as I thought I'd be getting a range).

As you can see from all the answers, the cost varies depending on which country you live in, your specific requirement etc. 
Being a Cosmetic Surgeon, I can help you break this cost down so you have a better idea about what you should be paying for, so that you or anyone else reading this can make a better decision.
A systematic approach to analysis of cost of Liposuction or any surgical procedure for that matter, could evaluated based on the following criteria.
1. Surgeon Fee
This will depend on the experience and consistent results offered by the surgeon. If the surgeon is charging you more than the standard cost in your country / region then make sure his / her cost matches up to their skills and experience. A simple method of doing this is by going through all patient reviews and testimonials on all platforms including their website.
2. Hospital Infrastructure Cost
This point is pretty self explanatory. Smaller nursing homes are less equipped and will generally charge you less compared to an Exclusive Aesthetic Centre or a Multi Speciality Hospital. The cost difference is what you pay for all the infrastructure.
3. Special Instrument's Used
Some cosmetic surgery procedures require the use of special instruments. Needless to say, these procedures are priced higher to include the usage of the special instruments. If the tariff offered to you isn't adding up, ask to see if the procedure you opted for uses special instruments like lasers etc.
4. Duration of Procedure
Longer surgeries and procedures often tend to cost more than the shorter ones.
To Sum it up, here's what you should be asking yourself and your surgeon when analysing costs.
1. What is the quality of treatment I will be receiving?
2. Are there hidden costs? (Ask for a fully transparent pricing structure)
3. Are there costs for aftercare?
Coming to your main question, the cost in general is hard to pinpoint to a specific number without a consultation with a surgeon, as it differs greatly for different people.
Hope this helps.

The cost of liposuction like other procedure vary considerably across the country and even in the same area depending on the cost structure. More expensive cities such as New York or Los Angeles, or areas with fewer board certified plastic surgeons may be more expensive than South Florida. Our liposuction price starts at $2800 + MD Anesthesia. Multiple areas may be additional.For the highest standards and cost containment, consult with experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons who own their own nationally accredited surgery center.The surgeon must maintain the highest standards to maintain national accreditation, has significant interest in ensuring that all the staff are the highest quality and trained in the specifics of each plastic surgery procedure, ensures that the facility is comfortable and private so patients are more inclined to recommend friends and family, and maintain the most cost effective structure possible which eliminates waste.
