Types of liposuction
Different techniques may be used for liposuction, which may affect the overall cost.
Tumescent liposuction – the most common type. Saline solution, local anesthetic, and adrenaline are inserted under the skin, with liposuction using small tubes called cannulas.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAS) – Ultrasound waves activate the cannula using vibrations to make fat cells easier to break down.
Power Assisted Liposuction (PAS) – The mechanical cannula moves back and forth to facilitate the procedure.
Laser Assisted Liposuction (LAS) – A small heat conducting tube is used under the skin to further enhance the procedure.
Most targeted areas and cost
Some of the most popular options include:
waist and sides
Fat around the waist and surrounding areas or “love handles” (including the lower back) can be treated together for a smooth, even sculpt.
The skin around the waist and sides has great elasticity, which makes it responsive to treatment. Costs generally start at $2,000
belly
Liposuction may help remove excess fat to create a flatter stomach – provided there isn’t too much fat and the skin is elastic enough.
To ensure a smooth transition, the upper abdomen (between the navel and the ribs) is usually treated at the same time. Depending on your desire to treat one or both areas, costs usually start at $3,000
Thighs
Removing a small amount of fat here can make a noticeable difference, creating a curve that also enhances the adjacent buttocks.
The inner thighs are a common area for the operation, and the inner and outer thighs are often treated together, and costs usually start from $2,000
Liposuction around the inner and outer thigh areas can help you move more easily, as it eliminates any friction that causes discomfort.
neck and chin
Neck liposuction costs generally start at the lower end of the range, as this procedure covers a smaller area. It is often combined with chin liposuction as well, and the costs of removing excess skin on the chin can also be added if needed.
