Laser lipo groupon deals. Scam?

Question

Went to a consultation that advertised 8 sessions for $167. I go to consult and she says need 12 sessions plus massage after each session. The total came to $450. Scam?

Eric Seiger, DO · Answer

Liposuction should be the last thing you attempt to find
“deals” on. Sadly, there are many doctors out there that – even though they
offer liposuction procedures – are not certified, or simply do not have the
skills necessary to carry out the procedure. As a result, if you do try and
take advantage of these deals, you may find yourself with terrible results, or
even put yourself at risk of injury and death. Remember; if it seems too good
to be true, it probably is!

This is not something that I think would do well for what you are looking for. I avoid all deals and go to an expert for any body contouring procedure.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Paul J. Leahy, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. It seems like this may be advertising more of a laser skin treatment designed to add some tightening, as opposed to true laser-assisted liposuction. The true laser-assisted liposuction typically only requires a single treatment, and is likely to be more expensive that the amount in that advertisement.

When you see cosmetic surgery or aesthetic procedures offered on groupon run away as fast as you can!! Have your procedures done under the guidance of a BCPS.  Be careful. Dr. B
