How much would it cost to have fat removed from your inner thigh area and your buttocks?

Question

Butt is to big has alot of fat so does my inner thigh area

Jeff Angobaldo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your questions. If your interested in liposuction of the inner thigh and outer buttocks and hips, I would consider that two areas.   Prices vary from area to area. Normally, there is a Surgeons fee, a facility fee, and the cost of Anesthesia. Normally the price for liposuction in Dallas for an area ranges from $2,500-5,000 an area. Make sure you consult with a Board Certified plastic Surgeon. Best Wishes.

It sounds as though you are considering liposuction of two areas. Expect to pay 2000 $3000 depending on your body size and the type of anesthesia chosen.

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.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I stay away from buttock liposuction due to the potential irregularities. It's nice to sculpt the surrounding areas to improve the balance and harmony of the areas. Sculpting usually includes the inner thighs as well as the knees, possibly the outer thighs, tailbone, and waist. The cost can range from $5,000 to $15,000 depending on the amount of areas and the experience of the board certified plastic surgeon.

The cost of liposuction of the buttock and thighs would depend on several factors that could be determined after a physical exam and discussion of what your goals are.  Some additional information such as photo, height, weight, etc.. could help narrow down an on-line assessment.  In our practice, after a consultation/physical exam an estimate for the time and the type of anesthesia would determine what the cost of the procedure.  A reasonable starting point would be $5-7K. This could go up if you are adding procedures such as inner thigh lift if your concerns were better addressed by a reduction in skin laxity.

Liposuction is the suction removal of subcutaneous fat.  Subcutaneous fat is located just below the surface of the skin and above the muscles and bones.  It doesn't remove all of the fat, but it does remove the majority of the fat.  The perfect candidate is at or near their ideal body weight and has localized areas of fat that are out of proportion to the rest of the body.  It is not a weight reduction technique.  It can be used on any area of the body, but it relies on the skin redraping after the fat is removed.  So, if you have loose skin, you may end up with wrinkles or folds after the surgery.  Some areas respond better to liposuction than others, the lateral thighs always look nice, the inner thighs and arms, not so much.  The tummy depends on how loose the skin was to begin with.  It does not remove or improve stretch marks.  There are many different terms used for liposuction:Tumescent liposuctionPower liposuctionLaser liposuctionVaser liposuctionSmart liposuctionUltrasonic liposuctionAnd many, many more.  All these techniques vary a little, but the bottom line is that the fat is removed by high powered suction.  A small tube or cannula with multiple holes at the end is hooked to a suction device.  The cannula is moved rapidly back and forth to remove the fat through very small incisions in the skin.  All blood vessels, nerves, muscle, bone and skin is left alone, just the fat is removed.  Large amounts of fluid are placed in the subcutaneous fat before the suction begins to reduce bleeding and to numb the skin, this fluid is referred to as tumescent fluid and consists of a balanced salt solution mixed with adrenalin and a local anesthetic.  There are 3 choices of anesthesia:Local anesthesia (the patient is awake)Local with sedation (the patient is given a mild sedation)General anesthetic (the patient is asleep)The choice is based upon an agreement between the patient and the surgeon.  Make sure you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who operates in a nationally accredited surgery center and offers board certified anesthesia.  If the price you are quoted seems abnormally low, please do your research and find out why, you do not want to be surprised the day of your surgery!Liposuction can be combined with many other procedures; tummy tuck, breast reduction, thigh lift, arm lift, neck lift and is an essential part of a Brazilian Butt lift (this is where the fat comes from!)  All of my patients are treated post operatively with a compression garment that is worn for 2 weeks and 5 Endermologie sessions that start 3-4 weeks after the procedure.  Endermologie is a non surgical massage technique that helps to smooth out the results of the surgery to help prevent wrinkling and rippling of the skin.Liposuction is not a very painful procedure and recovery is usually quick.  Most people are back to work in 3-5 days and back to vigorous exercise in 2 weeks.  Of course, if more areas are treated, there will be more pain post operatively and a longer recovery.  I was back to work 3 days after my abdominal liposuction and no one knew any better!The cost varies not only from city to city, but from patient to patient.  The more areas that are treated, the higher the cost.  In the midwest, typical liposuction prices varies from $3,000-6,000 total.Based on the information presented I would recommend the following:liposuction of the inner thighs and buttocks.Good Luck!

It is really hard to give you a quote for your surgery without actually examining you. If you need a ballpark figure, you can click on the "treatment" tab in realself.com, then click on "liposuction" and then click on the "cost" tab. Look for your geographic location on the map so that you can have some cost estimates from actual patients in your area.

The buttocks is generally not an area where liposuction is performed.Inner thigh liposuction is quite common.It is, however, an anatomic area where liposuction can be difficult secondary to skin laxity.In order to get an accurate answer and assessment, I suggest you seek an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon.Pricing for liposuction varies greatly.So do results.Prices could arrange from $2,000 to $7,000.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

Liposuction costs depend on the number of areas being treated, the type of anesthesia and where the procedure is done. It should always be done in an accredited facility, no matter the anesthesia. It should also be done by a board certified plastic surgeon, as there are significant risks and complications, up to and including death, that are almost completely preventable. You should also see someone with significant experience in the procedure, as one of the areas you are interested in treating, the buttocks, is fraught with problems.

Vincent D. Lepore, MD (retired) · Answer

Costs for liposuction can vary depending on the number and size of the areas to be liposuctioned, the amount of time necessary to perform the procedure, the type of anesthetic ( local vs general anesthesia) and other factors such as the type of liposuction (tumescent, ultrasound assisted, etc).  From what you have described, the cost should be approximately $5,000 to $7,000.  Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive liposuction experience.  Best wishes, Dr Lepore.
