What is the Cost of Laser Liposuction?

by Michael Parks

Food and Drugs Administration, a government agency, has recently approved a new method of fat reduction in some parts of the body. This said method is known as the laser liposuction, which is far different from the traditional liposuction method.

Laser liposuction is a method that is less insidious as opposed to the traditional procedure. This method includes a 1mm cannula being inserted into a small incision in the area where fat is to be removed. The cannula’s laser tip, once in contact with the fats, will heat up the fats and eventually breaks them down. The melted fats are then purged out of the body straight away.

As for those fats that are not eliminated from the body, they will be flushed out via the person’s lymphatic system. The intensity of the laser can be increased or decreased, according to the need. Unlike the traditional surgical method of liposuction, laser liposuction only requires a practiced anesthetic for it to happen.

Aside from the fact that laser liposuction causes minimal bruising, there are other reasons why more and more people are choosing it over the traditional liposuction. One of these reasons is the cost of laser liposuction. The cost of laser liposuction, however, may vary according to the kind of laser used during surgery, by region, skill of the working surgeon, number of areas that are designated for the surgical procedure and the experience level of the surgeon. Generally, the cost of laser liposuction may fall in the $1500 to $15000 range.

One thing that a patient should take precaution of is choosing the surgeon. Just because you can afford the surgeon does not mean that he is a good one. You should know his reputable track record and experience as a lipo surgeon. You may ask some comments from the surgeon’s previous clients. Judging is also made easier once you check out some before and after images. If you do this before you undergo laser lipo, you can remove the need for finding a second lipo surgeon to repair damages from your first surgery.

The cost of laser liposuction, as stated earlier, may differ. Some liposuction surgeons may charge more for some specific body areas. Those that are larger and more difficult will naturally cost more. Some surgeons, however, have flat rates for each body area.

For example, the normal price for the upper abdomen area is $4500, with lower and higher fees of $3000 and $10000 respectively. As opposed to the upper abdomen, the lower abdomen is less expensive. The normal price for surgery on this part is $3500 with a lower fee of $2000 and a higher one of $9000. The thigh area will cost a patient $2500 average while the knees can reach as much as $4000. Probably the most expensive among the body areas is the man boobs, which generally costs $5000, a lower fee worth $3500 and a $10000 higher fee.

It is still best to check with your surgeon before you give in to any operation. Also, remember that there might be additional charges for the faculty use, garments and anesthesia. Before anything else, always review the policies of each surgeon. When you have reviewed them, that is the time that you can make your final decision about engaging on laser liposuction.
