Liposuction is one of the most difficult surgery’s to estimate costs and laser liposuction prices are not much easier to estimate. It depends on the amount and type of anesthesia involved and the surgeons’ skills and experience level as well as the type of machine that will be used. As with all surgery these areas are the three fees that make up the total cost. These are anesthesia fee, surgeon fee, and facility fees.
Right off the bat we can say that laser liposuction prices will be lower than tradition liposuction because there is a smaller amount of anesthesia involved. In most surgeries that require large doses or general anesthesia, an anesthesiologist is required and that jacks up the anesthesia fee.
The machine used in a laser liposuction procedure costs about $100,000 to $150,000 and the doctors will look to pass these costs to the patient. High traffic clinics will be able to lower the facility aspect of the total price.
The anesthesia and facility fees are usually more stable and the greatest variance of price comes from the surgeon fee. Most patients usually want to go back for a second touch up of the same area. This is usually done about six months after the initial surgery and most surgeons will charge half the original price for the touch up procedures.
The size of the area is a big determinate of the price of your laser liposuction procedure. It is important to go see your plastic surgeon for an accurate price quote after you’ve been evaluated for the areas you want work done. You will learn everything you need to know after the initial consultation to decide whether laser liposuction and the quoted prices are right for you.
