How much does liposuction of the flanks usually cost?

That is tough to answer without seeing photos. So much of the pricing is based on the areas being liposuctioned and the time it takes to perform the surgery. The surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee and operating room fees are generally all time dependent. I would say for an average-sized patient under general anesthesia the total cost would be $5,000 - $6,000. However, almost always I will liposuction the abdomen along with the flanks and this would push the price up another $2,000. Good luck!Thomas Taylor, MDPasadena, CA

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

Liposuction pricing is dependent on a lot of things but mainly the expertise of the surgeon and how detailed the procedure. The type of liposuction shouldn't matter as the person using the tool is always better than any tool on its own. I have 5 different devices and customize my approach to each person, their goals, and their body shapes. Anyone discounting for areas or size of the person is really not doing liposculpting, they are doing bulk reduction of fat and that never gives the best results. You should go to someone with expertise, who specializes in body shaping/contouring, and has a practice dedicated to this type of procedure. This will limit any complications or poor results.
