How much does laser- or ultrasound-assisted liposuction cost?

The average cost for laser- or ultrasound-assisted liposuction may vary based on the expertise and qualifications of the person performing the treatment, the type of procedure used, time and effort the procedure or treatment requires, as well as geographic office location.

In general, the cost for either of these procedures will be higher than traditional liposuction. Many plastic surgeons offer patient financing plans, so be sure to ask.

Laser- or ultrasound-assisted liposuction costs may include:

• Surgeon's fee
• Surgical facility costs
• Anesthesia fees
• Prescriptions for medication

Be sure to ask your surgeon about all costs involved in your procedure

Your satisfaction involves more than a fee.

When choosing a plastic surgeon for laser- or ultrasound-assisted liposuction, remember that the surgeon's experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the procedure.

Most health insurance does not cover cosmetic surgery or its complications.
