Hi! I had a virtual consult today and I was quoted $5,900 for 360 lipo. I asked if the flanks were considered one area and the surgeon told me it was considered two. I’ve read that it was considered one area. Which is true? And also, is $5,900 a good price for 360 lipo in the Los Angeles area? Any other surgeons in the Los Angeles area that does virtual consults?
Answer: Liposuction 360 Great question! Generally, in my practice, the flanks are considered 1 area. The lower back will be considered a second area. The terminology I don't think is as important as knowing what you are getting. If you are doing lipo 360, it should just be the entire torso, irregardless of the number of "areas". The price will depend on what area of Los Angeles you are in as well, and differ from surgeon to surgeon. Most surgeons, including myself, do perform virtual consultations so it is best for you to consult with a few surgeons and see who you feel the most comfortable with.Best of luck and hope this information helps!Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: 360 Lipo Hi, thank you for your question. 360 Lipo is a generic term that loosey describes liposuction of the upper body. It is VERY important to have clear communication with your surgeon to make sure that you understand exactly what areas are included in your procedure. In general, in my region (NYC) the love handles tend to be considered 1 area, but I'm sure this varies by practice.

Answer: Plastic Surgery Pricing Hello, There is no consensus on whether a particular body part is considered one or two areas, and in the end is irrelevant. '360 lipo' is popular term that implies the areas being treated are a unit, the torso. So, you could call the entire surgery 'one area' if you wanted. The bottom line is that the price is the price, which in the case of the doctor you consulted with, is very, very low. Be sure you see only ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in body contouring and with at least a decade or more of experience. Your question suggests you are looking for the best price, a dangerous proposition in plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Liposuction Options successfulandbody. I appreciate your confusion regarding terminology, however left and right flanks are usually considered one area. However some surgeons call the left and right lower back “posterior flanks”, and this would be a second area, compared to the flanks regions just lateral to your tummy area. Also while cost is important, it should not be your only deciding factor. Be certain To consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to greatly increase your chances for the best possible result. Good luck.

Answer: Are both flanks considered one area or two for 360 lipo? The cost of liposuction will depend on the difficulty of the procedure and the number of areas liposuctioned. The average cost for a liposuction procedure in California is approximately $6400 as reported by RealSelf. Most PS offer virtual consults via Skype and can provide an estimate for the 360 lipo. Cost will vary by the experience of the surgeon, anesthesia fee, OR fee, geographical location, etc.
