If you’ve considered liposuction as a form of body fat reduction, the idea of what goes into the cost of it can be a bit daunting. No one wants unexpected expenses that they didn’t plan for; however, with a little explanation of what happens and what individual aspects of the procedure go into the bill, you’ll have a better idea of what to expect when you decide on a treatment to reach your aesthetic goals.
What Goes Into the Cost of Liposuction?
Without a consultation, it’s hard to pinpoint a flat rate of what liposuction will cost you. There are many factors that go into the price for liposuction, and different treatments call for different financial planning. Much like how the treatment varies based on the area of treatment and the amount of fat removed, the cost of liposuction varies from person to person.
The best way to plan financially before a consultation is to understand what to look for on your individual estimate. By breaking down the total bill into different expenses, the total cost should be something that you fully understand. Let’s take a look.
Pre-Surgical Expenses
One aspect of liposuction treatment is the initial work that goes into it. We want to make sure that everything goes well and that you receive the safest, most effective treatment possible, and the best way to do that is to do lab work and run tests on the patient. You can expect to see lab fees and any prescriptions that we may provide you with on your estimate.
Day-Of Expenses
The majority of the cost will be what happens on the day of the surgery. The surgeon’s fee is usually the majority, but you should also take into account the costs of the hospital fees and the facility costs, as they are usually by the hour. These fees depend largely on the intensity and the elapsed time of the procedure. You can also expect to see an hourly anesthesiologist’s fee, since they will be there through the procedure to monitor your comfort levels.
Post-Surgical Expenses
After surgery, you’ll want to follow up with your specialist to make sure the recovery process is quick, safe, and efficient. You’ll need to undergo some follow-up exams and may be provided with prescriptions to maximize comfort and reduce swelling and bruising. You will also be provided with compression garments to make sure that your body retains your goal shape in the target areas and to provide much-needed support.
