The Cost Of Liposuction Procedures

By Cedric Montague

People who want to undergo liposuction want to have fat removed from certain areas of their body. Careful consideration must be given as to where you have the procedure done as well as how much the procedure costs. Though people would look to save money, certain complications may occur when pursuing cheaper care requiring a revision of the first procedure. This will give a small overview of the proper decision-making in obtaining liposuction surgery.

Liposuction is the removal of fat deposition underneath the skin with the use of a stainless steel tubing and a high-powered vacuum. The patient can request the type of sedation which is with either general anesthesia or intravenous (IV) sedation. Local anesthesia at the site of liposuction can also be used.

One thing patients should consider when researching liposuction procedures. They should analyze the cost as well as the results of the center which performs it. Although it would be nice to receive lower-priced care, beware of sacrificing good care for a bargain price. It is advised to consider a physician who has experience with the procedure and who has had good results in the past.

The following are things which you want to avoid in order to prevent a possible redo of the procedure. This will also help in your efforts to save money. Make sure you avoid physicians who have had results where patients feel as though little liposuction was performed. They see no results. Secondly, avoid procedures which resulted in disfigurement or uneven areas of skin. Also, if past results of a physician show many large scars, evaluate other surgeons.

The costs of surgery include surgical and non-surgical fees. The non-surgical fees include fees for preoperative laboratory exams, the cost of the operating room, nursing care, and other costs such as garments and compression boots.

Liposuction of the upper and lower abdomen range between $3000 and $7500. The lower abdomen range is about $2000. Arms range from $2000 to $5000. The back is between $1500 and $5000. Female breasts are between $3000 and &7500. Male breasts are between $3000 and $5000. The buttocks is between $2000 and $4500. The chin, cheeks, and neck range between $2000 and $4500. Flanks range between $2000 and $5000. The anterior thighs and knee cost between $2000 and $5000. Inner thighs and knees also range between $2000 and $5000. The hips and waist cost between $1600 and $5000. Outer thighs are between $1500 and $5000.

The cost of this procedure is dependent on several factors. They are based on the time and effort made during the procedure by the surgeon, the costs of the anesthesiology services, operative laboratory fees, and operating rooms costs. It is best to make an appointment to get further details from each individual physician.
