Liposuction Surgery Fees

Liposuction prices are made up of three fees that are common in most other plastic surgery procedures. The first is the anesthesia fee which depends on the dosage required to knock the patient out. Traditional liposuction patients receive general anesthesia which makes up most of the cost difference from laser liposuction since only local anesthesia is required. Beware of low costs clinics when receiving anesthesia since some places will save money by having a nurse administer the drug. Only a qualified anesthesiologist should administer general anesthesia for liposuction patients.

The next fee is the facility fee. This is the location and equipment that will be used during the liposuction procedure. Clinics that have more clients will be able to distribute the cost of facility and equipment across a larger population thus allowing the clinic to quickly recover the fixed cost and possibly passing this advantage to the client. The last fee is the surgeon's charge for his service and this depends on qualification, demand, and experience in performing liposuction surgery. This is the least predictable factor when trying to estimate liposuction prices because these fees can vary widely.
