Thank you for your question and your photos. In your case, I would recommend a good physical exam as you may benefit from a tummy tuck. Every city has different costs. Every surgeon also has different costs because of this. Remember that cheap can get expensive fast, as revision surgery can be quite expensive. Liposculpture is a surgical procedure, using liposuction techniques to remove fatty deposits from certain areas of the body. recontour areas of the body, and to achieve better proportion. It is often a cosmetic procedure, however has its reconstructive uses as an effective method to remove fatty/fibrous tissue secondary to disease, (or treatment of the disease), and to extract fat to be placed elsewhere in the body to achieve the desired look. Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, as he/she can also evaluate you for aesthetic surgery, (i.e. tummy tuck, brachioplasty, leg lift, etc.), if needed . A good place to start looking is are the websites of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, (ASAPS). They are all Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, who have passed rigorous screening. Have reasonable expectations, and together you will make an appropriate plan.Jeffrey J.

Often it is not the best approach to find the cheapest plastic surgeon. Does the surgeon specialize in this procedure? What are their credentials? How long have they been in practice? What percentage of their practice is cosmetic surgery? How many of these surgeries have they performed? Do they use the latest techniques? What do their results look like? Do they have photos to show of their work? Do they provide follow-up themselves, or will you only see the nurses (or even just an assistant)? Are they available by phone for an emergency or does one of their staff answer after-hour calls? What is the impression you get from their office and staff? Are they professional and informative? Do they know what they are talking about? You need to ask yourself all of these questions.The prices can vary from state to state, and city to city. We charge for liposuction per area. The abdomen (upper and lower side to side) is one area. The waist (from the ribs to just above the buttocks from side to side around the back) is one area. The thighs (both inner and outer) is one area. Our costs, including the board certified plastic surgeon's fees, board certified anesthesiologist's fees, operating room, labs, garment, vitamins, and follow-up at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months 6 months, and every year after forever, are listed below. If you need more follow-up appointments, those are free as well. The cost per area does go down as you add more areas:One area: cost per area around $5000. Two areas: cost per area round $3200. Three areas: cost per area around $2500When comparing quotes from different doctors, check to make sure that the costs you are quoted are for the same thing! For instance, often the cost per area is quoted as lower, yet the abdomen is comprised of upper and lower, and sometimes even lateral areas (2 to 4 areas for the abdomen, instead we consider the entire abdomen one area) or the thighs are inner and outer (2 areas when we consider the thighs one area). Make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Also check to see what type of anesthesia and facility you are going to be treated in. If the total price is lower but you are not going to receive proper anesthesia from a board certified anesthesiologist, then are you getting a better deal (or inferior treatment)? If the facility is not a certified outpatient surgery center but is an in-office procedure room, is the difference in safety worth the cost reduction? If the doctor is not a board certified plastic surgeon, is that worth the discount in the fees? I would say the answer to all three of these questions is no! This is your body, make sure you are making decisions based on the quality of care, the experience and training of the doctor, and proven results. Cost alone should not be the deciding factor.
You are a great candidate for liposuction. The upper back, lower back, flanks and abdomen could all be improved with liposuction. Please seek a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.
Thank you for your pictures. It looks like you've already had some type of abdominal procedure. You still have some residual fat. I think liposuction might be beneficial to you. Please consult with board-certified plastic surgeon area. Cost very among surgeons.
