Average cost for liposuction

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is the surgical procedure intended to sculpt or recontour one or more parts of the body through the removal of localized fat deposits. The abdomen, back, buttocks, cheeks, chin, hips, knees, neck, thighs and upper arms are all commonly treated areas of the body.

This procedure may be performed in a hospital, surgical center, or office while using either local anesthesia, local anesthesia combined with sedation, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia. Traditional liposuction involves the use of a narrow blunt-tipped tube called a cannula which is inserted into incisions and then pushed back and forth beneath the skin. The movement disrupts fat deposits which are then suctioned out.

There are several more recent techniques which may be performed alongside traditional liposuction, including Power-Assisted Liposuction, Tumescent Liposuction, and Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction. With Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL), the cannula is not manually manipulated by the surgeon because a reciprocating cannula is used instead. Tumescent Liposuction includes the use of a large volume of fluid containing a local anesthetic and epinephrine which is injected into the fatty tissue, leading it to become swollen and firm before being removed. For Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL) the fat is liquefied using ultrasound energy before it is removed.

Following the procedure, patients are typically able to return to their normal activities when they feel comfortable doing so, which can be anywhere from several days to several weeks, though more strenuous activities will need to be held off on for at least a month. The risks associated with liposuction may include the following: allergic drug reactions, anesthesia reactions, aspiration pneumonia, brain damage, blood clots, cardiac arrest, excessive blood loss, excessive fluid loss, focal skin necrosis (skin death), hematomas, hypothermia, infection, perforation injury, permanent nerve damage, permanent pigment (color) changes, post-liposuction syncope (fainting), pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, scarring, seizure, seromas, uneven skin, and unfavorable drug reactions.
