Are you interested in body contouring, but want to know how much it costs. Body contouring is one of the most widely requested cosmetic surgery procedures, because most people have a few areas of stubborn fat that simply won’t budge, even with diet and exercise.
Liposuction for Body Contouring
Traditional liposuction is considered the gold standard for body contouring, because it delivers very precise results, and gives patients the leaner contours they desire. It is a reliable method for sculpting the body, and can be used for both small and large areas of fat.
What happens during liposuction?
Small incisions are made in the treatment area through which a cannula, (small hollow tube) is inserted. The tube is moved back and forth to break up the fat deposits, which are then taken out using a suction attached to the cannula.
Liposuction may be done under general anesthesia or ‘twilight’ anesthesia. It is usually performed on an outpatient basis, but if a large amount of fat is being removed, an overnight stay in a hospital may be required.
How Much Does Body Contouring Cost In 2019?
Statistics published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2018, listed the average cost of liposuction as $3,518. However, the cost for body contouring can vary significantly from the average, as the price is influenced by a number of variables.
The cost of body contouring typically includes the surgeon’s fee, surgical facility fee, anesthesia fees, cost of post-surgical garments, geographic location, and medical tests.
Liposuction is not usually covered by medical insurance, but financing loans are available.
