Questions about the cost of liposuction are difficult to answer with generalizations. The cost of your liposuction will depend on a number of variables: the surgeon you pick, the method or technique that she uses, the number of areas treated, the amount of fat removed, and a host of other factors. Nonetheless, this article will address some of the general things that people can expect about liposuction pricing.The total fee for a liposuction involves a number of different smaller bills. One has to pay the surgeon for his time and effort. If an anesthesiologist assists, he or she must be paid for their time, as well as for the cost of anesthetic. One also has to pay for the use of the surgical facility where the liposuction is performed. Some doctors break up this bill and have patients pay it separately. Other simply charge the patients a single amount and then pay the others themselves.Because of all of these variables, the cost of liposuction can change a lot. If you require additional sedation or choose that you would rather have general anesthesia than local, the bill from the anesthesiologist will probably be higher.

Liposuction is a constantly growing field, with many advances in technique and technology over the last few years--the old tumescent method is now joined by a number of newer ones, including custom accoustic, water-assisted, and laser liposuction (also know by the brand names SmartLipo, ProLipo, CoolLipo, LipoLite, and LipoTherme). Every year, it seems that more and more people turn to liposuction (also known as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy) in order to fine tune and improve teir appearance.Lipoplasty is a surgical procedure in which small incisions are made around and over a certain target area. Small, hollow tubes called cannulas are inserted into these incisions by the surgeon. As the surgeon moves the cannulas back and forth through the layers of fat, the cannulas suction fat out of the body. Although modern liposuction techniques involve much less pain and trauma than the techniques used when liposuction was first invented, the procedure still requires some form of anesthesia to numb pain.When suction lipectomy was first invented, it required the use of general anesthesia. However, the invention of the tumescent method in the 80's opened the way for lipoplasty solely under...more
