Cost for liposuction to upper arms and abdomen?

Question

I was wondering the cost of lipo for my upper arms and abdomen? I would like to get the procedure done under local anesthetic.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I would find several board certified surgeons you think produce excellent results; then consider cost.  I think it is always better to get it right the first time. Lipo prices will fluctuate depending upon the area of the anatomy being targeted and the work necessary to remove the amount of fat the patient desires, i.e. lipo of the neck will cost less than lipo of the abdomen, buttocks or thighs. RealSelf provides low, average, and upper costs for surgeries in any location of the US.  Query it for the geographical locations of interest to you.Limited liposuction can be done under local anesthesia.   You do not want to be in pain during the procedure so that the surgeon must stop the procedure or do less than what is necessary.   For this reason, general is a better option for my patients.   I do not use local exclusively unless a small area of liposuction is planned.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Cost starts at $1500 for arms and $2500 for abdomen.  It is best to be seen for a consultation to assess the level and depth of fat versus loose skin and other anatomical variations.

Cost will vary due to skills, expertise and technique. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

HelloThe cost of a liposuction is not fixed that depends on the amount of fat to be extracted, the size and weight of the patient, but to define a budget you have to personally evaluate you consult with a certified plastic surgeon who can give you the best options and suggestions.I Wish You Good Luck, Dr. Manuel Ventura Certified, Medical Research Institute of Plastic Surgery in Sao Bernardo do Campo, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

In our practice, cost is related to your height and weight.  This will classify you based on your BMI.  Larger patients take more time so the operative time is greater as is the cost.  As far as local, yes that is my personal preference.  I am aware of other surgeons who have anesthesia present for all cases. 
I hope this helps
