How much would liposuction cost for man in San Francisco? (Photo)

Liposuction costs vary depending on the city and state. In San Francisco, prices are generally higher due to the higher costs of doing business. I would estimate the range to be $10-15,000. If done under local anesthesia, you could save 10 per cent. Be careful and due your due diligence and find a reputable surgeon. You probably will pay more for quality.

From your photos you appear to be a good candidate for liposuction. Liposuction costs can vary based on region and surgeon. Often times you can get a "ballpark" quote by calling board certified plastic surgeons offices in your area. Just be aware that if you ask a quote for the abdomen but then decide you want additional areas later, that the cost will be increased.

Thank you for your question about liposuction.

Realself provides data for the average cost of this procedure and others for your specific geographic area. Cost can vary significantly depending on where you live, as well as different surgeon’s fee, anesthesia fee and facility fee.

To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.

I hope this helps.

Pricing varies based on height, weight, number of areas treated, amount of definition requested, surgeon experience, and the local or regional market factors. While pricing is an important factor in making your decision, there are other important factors that you should investigate as well. Make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon with good reviews and plenty of before and after pictures that suit to your goals and expectations. Some surgeons have a price estimate on their website but you will need to do an actual consultation (virtual or in-person) to determine an accurate quote. I have seen pricing for liposuction ranging from anywhere as low as $2,999 buy-one-get-one free places promising you the moon that you should run away from, to practices that overcharge beyond $30,000. If you do your research, you’ll find practices with the perfect mix of quality, safety, service, and price that will provide you with the best value. Good luck!

Dear garydodge,
the cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, anesthesia fee, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.). It would be the best to visit or call plastic surgery offices and ask for a price.
