The cost of liposuction may be a concern for you. Most health insurance companies do not cover liposuction procedures. However, the new laser lipo is less expensive than traditional liposuction.
Depending on the type of liposuction you choose will determine the cost of the liposuction procedure. Where you live or are thinking of traveling to have the liposuction will factor in the cost of the procedure as well. Lastly, depending on the surgeon who performs your liposuction will make a difference in the cost of the procedure as well. Some surgeons are more skilled than others and surgeons have done more of the procedure you are thinking of having done so the price will most likely be higher.
If you are going with the traditional liposuction procedure you can expect to pay more than if you were to go with the laser liposuction procedure. For example, an abdomen traditional liposuction will cost $6,500 and the laser liposuction cost will be $5,000.
When figuring out the cost of liposuction make sure you ask about any added on fees you may not be aware of. Also, if you are going for traditional liposuction you may be charged extra for the general anesthesia. If you are having laser liposuction, the cost will be less as it is a local anesthesia. The local anesthesia will allow you to be awake during the liposuction procedure. With local anesthesia, there is a very minimal chance you will have any postoperative complications. With the general anesthesia your risk is much greater. If there are complications your procedure may end of costing you even more money.
You will save money if you choose laser liposuction. You will save money as you will only need one to two days to recuperate from the procedure. You will have very little discomfort so you will save money by using over-the-counter medications if needed. You will be ready to go back to work within days. You will spend more money with the traditional liposuction as you will need a doctor prescribed pain medication from the pharmacy. Plus, you will need to stay home from work longer due to the pain and much more involved surgical procedure. You may have extra paid vacation days to use up at work, but would you rather save your vacation days and enjoy something fun?
All in all, traditional liposuction costs more than laser liposuction due to the invasive procedure. You will be much happier with the cost and the results of laser liposuction.
