Solobello ? Scottsdale Quoted Me $6,000.

Question

Solobello is advertising $1,600 per area. I visited their Scottsdale office. They said i would need three area, stomach and saddlebags. Their Smart Lippo sounds good with, only having a weekend of down time. But their price of of $6,000 does seem a alittle high. Does anything else do what Solobello does in the Phoenix area?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I do not know about Scottsdale, but I know someone working for Sonobello in Beverly Hills and he is a very capable board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in liposuction.  I have no idea how they set their prices, but I would say that 3 areas of liposuction for $6000 is a steal if you like the surgeon.

Matthew Schulman, MD · Answer

I am not sure if $6000 is high or not for what you need. You say you need 3 areas but I am not sure what areas these are and how much fat you need removed. Acutally it seems low to me. I would find it hard to believe that any reputable plastic surgeon would do 3 areas of liposuction for $6000. The fact that they are advertising 1600 per area seems "shady" at the least and I suspect this is the typical "chop shop" that uses "cosmetic surgeons" and no board certified plastic surgeons. I am willing to be that you probably only met with a "surgical counselor" and not the doctor....

While I can't comment on the pricing policy of other practices, I do have a few pointers that should help you decide. First, it is always a good idea to get more than one opinion so see more than one practice. Second, you should see the doctor personally at the consultation - you are getting a medical opinion about surgery, not a sales visit. Third, ignore the hype about various technologies such as laser-assisted liposuction; the most important variable is the skill of the surgeon. Any lipo technique should have a quick recovery, and the laser adds additional risks.

Remus Repta, MD · Answer

Hello,

	Thank you for the question.  Even when laser lipo is done, regular liposuction at the same time is recommended for the best result.  Depending on your goals and what your body needs around 6000 should be sufficient for IV sedation, facility fee, and liposuction of the abdomen and hips with tumescent liposuction.  The technology and the business is not whats important rather finding a plastic surgeon that is well trained, that you feel comfortable with, and that can show you the results that you desire.

	All the best,

	Dr Remus Repta

When undergoing surgery, choose a surgeon you feel comfortable with, not a price you feel comfortable with. Meet with your surgeon, not a sales person. After you have found a surgeon you like, then consider the price.
