Reader Price Quote Request: Liposuction

Posted by admin in Dr D reactions on July 20, 2010

Reader’s Request:
“Butt and hips augmentation. Lipo Tummy area. Please give me a good deal. You may contact me through my email.”

While I appreciate liposuction is expensive and some readers of my blog might have interest in coming to see me professionally, realize that any surgeon giving a prospective patient a firm price sight unseen is suspect. To quote a patient a price on a procedure first assumes that the patient knows that he or she is a good candidate for such a procedure. Then there are the issues of anesthesia, surgery center, the size and scope of the procedure, needs for post-operative care etc. I do give “Ball Park” estimates though these can change once I have seen the patient.

I do appreciate the interest though when it is genuine.

Best Regards,

Reader Question: How Much Does Liposuction Cost?

Posted by admin in liposuction pre-op tutorial on August 21, 2009

Reader Question:

How much does liposuction cost?

Liposuction cost is frequently hard to explain. This is probably because many types of doctors offer liposuction and their costs of doing business are not the same. Liposuction can also be performed in low cost settings (like an office) or higher cost places (like a surgical center.)

The bottom line is that you are value shopping like for anything else. If you choose the cheaper option often you are being operated under numbing alone (more uncomfortable) by the less experienced doctor or by the non-plastic surgeon. Beware that some of the problems with which an inexperienced or poorly trained surgeon may leave you cannot be fixed.

You need to decide what is important to you.
