How much does liposuction of the flanks usually cost?

just lipo of the hips will likely cost $3000 if done under local anesthesia.  Having general anesthesia usually costs a little more

Liposuction is typically priced per area.Many plastic surgeons will discount the per-area price when multiple areas are treated at the same time. On top of this, there are facility fees and possible anesthesia fees.I personally do not use general anesthesia so that there is no anesthesia fee, but I do insist on using an accredited operating room.Per-area fees for liposuction vary between $1,200 and $5,000 depending on who you see and how many areas are treated. When treating the hips and waist, it is almost always necessary to treat the upper and lower abdomen as well. If the abdomen is not treated in conjunction with the hips and waist, an unbalanced and unnatural result is typically obtained. This is something that needs to be discussed during an in-person consultation. A reasonable fee, including the anesthesia and facility fees, for liposuction of the abdomen, waist and hips would be $6,500. Price is no guarantee of quality of work. That said, the most talented and experienced body contouring specialists rarely give significant discounts. Liposuction done poorly or on someone who is not a good candidate can potentially lead to disfiguring results. Be careful on who you choose. I suggest you have a few in-person consultations.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
