Liposuction FAQs
How much does liposuction cost?
Costs vary by technique, areas, volume, and OR time. Industry averages cite around $3,518 for surgery alone (not including anesthesia/facility). You’ll receive a personalized quote and financing options at consultation.
Will it hurt?
Discomfort, bruising, and soreness are common early and manageable with medications, garment use, hydration, and low-sodium diet as advised.
How long is recovery?
Many return to desk work in a few days to a week. Wear compression as directed (often 24/7 for 2 weeks, then daytime for several more). Avoid strenuous activity ~2 weeks or as cleared.
Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?
No. It removes localized fat for contouring. Stable weight, healthy habits, and good skin elasticity support the best outcomes.
