Hi. How much roughly should I expect to pay, for lipo to the knees, calves and ankles in Toronto?

Hello. IT is hard to give prices for surgery like lipo because it varies by region and also by surgeon. In the area I work, the prices range from 5-10k-- a wide variation, again due to all of these factors. Remember, that  this is an important decision, and you get what you pay for-- so the most important factor is your safety, and comfort with the surgeon.It is important to choose a surgeon who is board certified in plastic surgery AND who does liposuction routinely.Good luck.

Dear lp22,

Thank you for your clinical post and liposuction
pricing. Like the pricing of any
cosmetic plastic surgery is highly dependent upon the practice itself, the
surgeon, the surgeon’s experience, the relative size of body mass index and
difficulty of the patient’s contour issues.

In general, single site liposuction in Toronto can range
anywhere from $2,500.00 to $6,000.00 or more.
Although the knees, calves and ankles tend to be smaller in size and
relative amount of fat to remove they are also fraught with aesthetic
challenges and difficulties and have a relatively high complication rate and
many experienced liposuction plastic surgeons in Canada would avoid liposuction
of this area entirely. You’ll need to
seek out the expertise of someone with a lot of experience in liposuction
particularly liposuction of the knees, calves and ankles. Often delicate techniques such as advanced
energy assisted procedures using ultrasound (VaserLipo) laser (SmartLipo),
radio frequency energy (BodyTite) might be deployed. In some circumstances in the past have even
elected to treat just one calf and ankle at a time. There is a higher risk of deep venous
thrombosis and the perception of increased risk of palmer embolus with lipo
contouring procedures performed on this area.
The skin and contour of the calf and ankle is relatively unforgiving and
sometimes the undesirable shape and contours due to larger underlying
musculature.

I would seek the ongoing advice of a cosmetic plastic surgeon
that you feel confident with and I’m sure with a cautious and reasonable
approach to contouring you’ll end up with improvement.

I hope this information has been of some assistance and best
of luck.
