Liposculpture, most commonly referred to as liposuction, is a surgical procedure that is highly effective for removing unwanted fat in a specific body area.  The ideal patient is one who has hereditary fat accumulations that are diet and exercise resistant.  These are most commonly found in the abdomen, hips, inner and outer thighs, inner knees, upper arms, neck and cheek areas.  The latest technical developments in liposculpture produce great safety and very happy patients, with a minimal recovery period.  In my practice, I do not do liposculpture on significantly overweight patients for the purpose of weight reduction.  Large-volume liposculpture (that is, greater than 5000 cc) is associated with a higher risk of complications and has been the subject of some highly publicized media coverage in the past.  Typical recovery time is one to three days, and there is very minimal discomfort.

Costs are almost impossible to define without a personal consultation; however, as a general guideline, the price for one area is $3300, and each additional area is $900 (e.g., liposculpture of only the abdomen costs $3300; the abdomen and both outer thighs cost $5100 -- $3300 + $900 + $900).
