Liposuction is usually an elective cosmetic surgery procedure, which means it is not generally covered by insurance policies.

Liposuction is a wonderful solution for both men and women who have areas of fat on their body that are resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is not a weight loss solution, however, and should be used to contour the body, not lose weight.

Also, when choosing whether or not to have a liposuction, it is important to choose a surgeon and facility based on credentials, experience, and results, rather than price. All too often, people choose the cheapest plastic surgeon to perform their liposuction, and unfortunately many times, you see it in the results.

Be wary of plastic surgeons offering unbelievably low prices for liposuction, as it may reflect on the quality of liposuction you receive. Also, look out for plastic surgeons offering very cheap deals on liposuction for committing to the procedure that day.

Liposuction is a very personal decision, and the procedure varies from person to person. The cost of your liposuction can vary depending on the amount of fat being removed and the number of different places being treated.

The best way to determine how you are going to finance your liposuction procedure is to schedule an initial consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon.
