According to the latest online reports, the cost of liposuction in 2011 has increased slightly over the previous year. At the same time, the quality of surgery and its results improved markedly, in line with increased qualifications of the liposuction surgeons, and the new, more effective techniques. Also, the newest liposuction surgery equipment is more efficient and delivers better results. From the liposuction patient’s point of view, surgeon’s qualifications and a
total absence of post-operational complications are the two most important factors that will decide which liposuction specialist to choose.
Effective liposuction procedures and their cost in 2011
Before you start asking for a quote in your local liposuction clinics, here are some guidelines for cost of liposuction procedures in 2011.
Important disclosure: The following costs of liposuction procedures are based on those charged in the US, and are only estimates of the surgical fees charged by cosmetic surgeons, as reported by the local patients. This should provide you with some guidance as to what to expect.
Body Area Surgical Fee Only: Minimum ($) and High Level ($)
Back (female) 1,400 4,200
Breasts (female) 2,800 7,300
Breasts (male) 3,500 8,500
Thighs (outer) 1,400 4,600

Abdomen lower and upper 2,800 7,300
Arms 1,400 4,800
Neck, Jowls, Chin, Cheeks 2,000 4,300
The above amounts are relevant for procedures conducted without the anaesthetic or other specialist being present. Ask your favorite clinic for what is going to be required in your particular case.
You may do some online research and read other patients’ opinions and recommendations.
But, ultimately, it’s up to you to check with your local liposuction clinic and make sure, that you weigh costs and benefits (quality of the post-op care, experience of the surgeon, convenience of the location, etc.) when making the final decision. Finally, always check if the liposuction surgeon you’re going to use is certified with the appropriate board: ABPS.
