Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries and for good reason. With liposuction, the procedure is minimally invasive with quick recovery time. Also, when compared to many other aesthetic surgical procedures, liposuction offers a more affordable option to improve your physical appearance.
Liposuction uses negative pressure, meaning suction, to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body. The surgeon performs liposuction with a blunt cannula, allowing important connective tissue attachments between the skin and the muscle to remain intact.
The use of lasers or ultrasound as liposuction adjuncts seldom happens because of the thermal damage created. Risks with liposuction are very low when done correctly.
The recovery time depends on the area and volume of liposuction. Most patients can resume exercise and other normal activities as quickly as the next day. However, for more extensive liposuction the recovery may take up to a week. The scarring is minimal. Liposuction uses only a small puncture area to access the fat removal site.
Most patients find liposuction an easy option to address areas of unwanted fat tissue. Liposuction offers many benefits, including positive aesthetic results, reasonable costs, and quick recovery. Overall, it is one of the easiest and most affordable cosmetic procedures available, especially based on results.
The Costs Involved with Liposuction
Liposuction costs vary based on the areas of the body addressed and the amount of fat removed. The greater the area, the longer the procedure takes. However, most patients find liposuction affordable for the level of results achieved.
- Surgeon Fees
- On average, liposuction costs $2,200 per area of the body with a discount for three or more simultaneously treated areas.
- The cost for patients with a higher BMI is slightly greater because of the extra time required to treat a given area.
- We provide the costs before the procedure to allow each patient to make an informed decision.
- Surgery Center Fees
- The vast majority of patients have their liposuction awake, with an oral sedative and tumescent anesthesia of the area to be treated.
- Liposuction performed with sedation and tumescent anesthesia also saves money as fees for an anesthesiologist and facility are included in the surgeon’s fee.
- Liposuction seldom requires the use of general anesthesia, therefore, it is not included in the cost for most patients.
- In the event the surgeon selects the use of general anesthesia, then the patient receives a quote for the anesthesia rates.
- There is no recovery fee but there is a facility fee that includes the recovery room.
We quote all planned costs before the procedure. We aim for each patient to understand all costs involved.
