Lipoplasty or Liposuction Cost

The price for liposuction varies, depending on how many areas are treated and there are fees for the surgeon, for use of a facility and for anesthesia if it is required, it usually is for larger areas. In the case usually double chins are better treated with procedures other than liposuction, or sometimes in combination with liposuction.

Liposuction of the abdomen and love handles would typically cost about 2200-3000 for the surgeon's fee. Anesthesia and facility fees can vary greatly ballpark 500-1000 for the facility fee; 400-750 for anesthesia.
 
Doctors charge $4-5000 for liposuction when the procedure is relatively simple enough that could do it at home as long as took the proper precautions. Are there any realistically priced doctors/plastic surgeons out there or even go to another country and have them do it for less.  

From the visual effects of removing excess, unwanted fat via liposuction, most liposuction patients find that their clothes tend to fit better, a trim, firm abdomen may provide a psychological lift to liposuction patients.
