To find the cost of liposuction you need to understand the procedure and how it is performed. You will also need to know what kinds of liposuction are available as each procedure has a different cost structure to it. Liposuction is a simple procedure that is designed to improve the contours and shape of the body by removing extra fat deposits located between the skin and muscle bodies. This procedure is facilitated by the use of a tube like steel instrument called a canula. The canula is inserted into the body through a small incision in the skin and is run by a powered pump that suctions the fat out through the canula. Once the fat is removed the resulting tunnels collapse and leave a trimmer profile in the area affected.
General rule of thumb is that general the cost of liposuction is between $2000 and $3000 depending on how much fat needs to be removed and whether local or general anesthetic is needed. I will list several liposuction procedures and the current price ranges.
- Lower Abdomen – $2000
- Upper and Lower Abdomen – $3000 to $7500
- Arms – $1500 to $5000
- Back – Female – $1500 to $4000
- Breasts – Female – $3000 to $7500
- Breasts – Male – $3000 to $5000
- Buttocks – $1500 to $4500
- Cheeks, Jowls, Neck – $2000 to $4500
- Hips and Waist – $1600 to $5000
- Outer Thighs – $1600 to $5000
- Inside Legs – $2000 to $5000
- Outside Legs – $2000 to $5000
All of these procedures are under general anesthesia. If you are looking for a mini procedure or only liposculpture or the removal of minimal fat deposits your cost of liposuction will be less. For the less invasive procedure you also get the benefit of a lower chance of scarring and infection along with a faster recovery and return to normal activity levels.
