Finding the Best Low Cost Liposuction

Low cost liposuction is not as hard to find in the United States as you might expect, but always make sure you’re getting the highest quality. Satisfaction is based on receiving a healthy, safe treatment — not just the bottom dollar.

Avoid Beverly Hills and New York: The Northeast and Western portions of the United States tend to charge far more for liposuction than other areas. However, researching inexpensive liposuction in Tennessee or Kansas may yield surprisingly affordable results.

Some patients swear by finding affordable liposuction outside the U.S. While quality liposuction can be found in other countries, more research is required when choosing to leave the U.S. 

Is Your Doctor ASPS Certified? Before agreeing to go under the knife, verify that your chosen plastic surgeon is ASPS board certified. The ASPS, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, requires doctors to have at least six years of surgical training, with at least three years dedicated to plastic surgery.

How Much Aspirate Will They Remove Per Day? Although the specific amount can vary, most doctors agree that no more than 5 liters of aspirate, also known as the combination of fat and fluid, should be removed in a single day’s session. If your doctor agrees to remove more than 5 liters, do not submit to his treatment.

How Many Body Parts Will Be Treated in One Day? Again, a surgeon should not be willing to treat more than 3 or 4 areas of the body for liposuction in one day. Also, liposuction should not be performed on a day when different surgical procedures, such as facelifts, are performed.

Who Are Your References? Any proficient plastic surgeon will have a reputation, and will be happy to share references with you on your request. Talk to his patients and find out how they rate their experiences. Virtually nothing is more intimate than surgery; you deserve a caring, qualified physician.

Doctor’s Level of Experience: The more experienced, the more expensive. Fresh ASPS certified grads will be more affordable than a doctor with 25 years of experience.

Patient Size/ Ratio of Body Fat: The more there is to remove, the higher the cost. If the patient has a very high BMI index, the costs will increase.

Pre-Operative Laboratory Costs: X-rays, consulting room visits, and other pre-operative methods of interacting with a patient. Pre-operative procedures that can be performed in-house will be cheaper than those that must be outsourced.

Operating Room Fee: Varies on the hospital being used.

Special Post-Operative Garments: Some special garments are needed to protect the body in its fragile condition, depending on where the surgery takes place.

Post-Op Treatments: Additional therapies or medications may be necessary.
