How much of a discount should be expected for multiple areas done at once as opposed to individually? I went for a consult and was shown how much it would be for each area if done individually, but told it would be less since I was doing several areas at once. Then she went and ran my credit and came back with those same numbers totaled up and told me that was how much it would cost. I'm also curious how much discount is generally offered for use of before and after pictures. Thank you!
Answer: Combo vs individual pricing Usually a combo of multiple areas gets you each area for about 2/3 the individual price of each area done alone because it's faster for surgeon to do them in combination, cheaper on supplies, and more efficient in terms of setup time, cleanup, paperwork and processing etc.

Answer: Pricing structure and discounts on Smarlipo Every plastic surgeon has different pricing and offer different discounts. It is important to find a PS that you feel comfortable with and this may mean having a consultation with multiple surgeons. I personally offer a multi-area discount on the surgeon fee for liposuction, but remember that the laser parts for the smartlipo laser machine do have to be changed with each patient and therefore add a cost to the procedure. I also do not offer a discount for before/after photos as all of my patients sign a release to allow me to show the photos in my office (I don't post them on-line). The patients face is not included in the photos unless the procedure(s) was on the face.

Answer: Pricing structure and discounts on Smart Lipo Each office has their own pricing structures. Better to be sure you are using OINLY a board certified Plastic Surgeon, the correct SmartLipo unit ( there are 8 models I ONLY use the SmartLipo TRIPLEX unit), if surgery under more than local anesthesia if doing multiple areas. I price per area/lipo aspirate volume in liters with OR time = To open the operating room fee $3,000 + SmartLipo fiber, etc. So 1 hour fee $4,000, each hour or areas/amount lipo aspirate +$1,000. To a total of $6,000 or 4 liters removed.

Answer: Liposuction, Smart Lipo, Vaser, Body Jet, and Coolsculpting Smart Lipo is a type of liposuction technique which utilizes liposuction and laser. The original Smart Lipo units were underpowered and were of questionable value according to a Wall Street Journal expose on May 4, 2008. Since then, Smart Lipo has added additional power and wavelengths and is now effective. Other forms of liposuction include Vaser liposuction which uses ultrasonic waves and Body Jet liposuction which uses a powered water stream to loosen fat before liposuction. Coolsculpting is a non-surgical type of fat removal in which the fat is frozen. Be especially wary of doctors who claim their specialty owns lipoplasty or liposuction. The term liposuction is generally credited to Dr Julius Newman, the former President of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. Finally, it is not customary to pay patients for before and after photos but do ask for a 50% discount on each additional body area.
